Myanmar wants to improve bilateral ties with BD

Newly-appointed Myanmar Ambassador in Dhaka Lwin Oo Sunday met Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and discussed various bilateral issues, including Rohingya issue, reports UNB.
However, when approached after the meeting, the Myanmar envoy did not talk about Rohingya issue.
"I will try my best to improve and strengthen bilateral and economic relations," he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry.
It turned six months on Sunday, since almost 700,000 Rohingyas, mostly female and children, fleeing violence in Myanmar started arriving in Bangladesh.
In one of the world's biggest forced migrations in recent years, around half a million people crossed the border in just two months after August 25, according to the UN migration agency - IOM.
Early images of tens of thousands of frightened and exhausted families filing through muddy paddy fields or crammed into rickety boats during their flight shocked the world, says the UN migration agency.
