BD wants better engagement with Myanmar

Saturday, 25 January 2014


Bangladesh wants to focus more on its close neighbour Myanmar to have improved ties with it in the spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation paving a ground for boosting trade and commerce.
Bangladesh first wants to deal with the ‘non-conventional’ security issues with Myanmar and resolve those for ‘enhancing Bangladesh’s engagement’ with the neighbour.
An inter-ministerial meeting will be held at the Foreign Ministry Sunday where related ministries, including the Home Ministry and the Shipping Ministry, will come up with their respective proposals to prepare a draft on the issue, according to a news agency.
Foreign Ministry sources said the government is willing to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Myanmar on non-conventional security cooperation in the coming months after discussing the matter with the related ministries.
