Myanmar's navy will join maritime drills with the US in Southeast Asia next week.
Myanmar's navy will join maritime drills with the US in Southeast Asia next week, a spokesman said Wednesday, in a rare show of military cooperation despite Washington slapping sanctions on top army brass over the Rohingya crisis.
The drills come at a time of stepped-up US engagement in the region and tensions between China and several Southeast Asian nations over rival claims in the South China Sea. "The sanctions imposed were personal and this exercise is a coordination between ASEAN and the US," he said.
