Myanmar: India against coercion

Democracy, reconciliation called for

New Delhi: Amid growing world pressure on India over the Myanmar issue, United Nations special envoy Ibrahim Gambari on Monday met Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon who emphasised that New Delhi favoured democracy in the country, but opposed coercion.
