Burma: Armed Forces
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse has been of training provided to the Burmese army.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence does not provide any form of combat training to the Burmese military.
We do provide educational training to the Burmese military in the form of programmes delivered by the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom on the role of the military in a democracy, leadership and English language training. The cost to the public purse of this training provided to the Burmese Army, as at 21 December 2016, is £236,668. Our programme of engagement with the Burmese military remains under continual review.
