The Bangladeshi embassy in Yangon has denied a statement by the Tatmadaw that the two sides are holding talks over how to coordinate actions against the Arakan Army, after the group claimed to have inflicted heavy casualties on Myanmar’s military last week.
The Tatmadaw said on March 6 that it was in discussions with the Bangladeshi embassy aimed at preventing the Arakan Army from grouping in the border area and, ultimately, eliminating the ethnic armed group.
But Tareque Muhammad, the Bangladeshi embassy’s deputy chief of mission in Yangon, told The Myanmar Times yesterday that no talks had been held with the Tatmadaw. He declined to comment on when talks might be held.
“Once the discussion is over, only then we can share our views,” he said. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
