NEW DELHI, April 16 (UPI) -- India said it discussed issues relating to security, intelligence-sharing and arms-smuggling with neighboring Myanmar.

Junior Interior Minister V. Radhika Selvi said in a statement Wednesday an Interior Secretary-level meeting between the two countries was held March 7-10 in New Delhi.

"At this meeting, various issues relating to security, intelligence sharing, arms smuggling, drug trafficking, border management, border trade, cross border projects, release of Myanmar fishermen arrested in India and Indian fishermen lodged in Myanmar jails and other issues were discussed," she said in response to a question in Indian Parliament.

She said both sides agreed to work closely in these areas and toward peace along the border.
