Bangladesh sends complaint to Myanmar over border incident

The Bangladesh government sent a complaint letter to Nay Pyi Taw over the recent mortar shell incident and intrusion of Myanmar security forces into Bangladeshi territory on May 16, according to the Dhaka-based newspaper The Daily Star.

In a note verbale sent to the Myanmar government through the Myanmar embassy in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi foreign ministry said the incident of a mortar shell attack targeting a Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) camp on the night May 11 was most unfortunate and totally unwarranted.

“Such unprovoked firing by the Myanmar security forces is not acceptable at all,” said the strongly worded protest note.

The ministry further said the Myanmar security forces frequently and illegally enter Bangladeshi territory, despite repeated requests from Bangladesh not to violate international border laws. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
