Dipu hopes for better relations with Myanmar

Staff Correspondent
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni hoped that bilateral relation with Myanmar would be more positive and constructive after the landmark verdict on maritime boundary issue, as the row between the two countries settled in a peaceful way. She was speaking yesterday in parliament informing the people about the country's victory in the maritime boundary dispute with Myanmar. Bangladesh on March 14 won a landmark verdict at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, which sustained its claim to 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic and territorial rights in the Bay of Bengal rejecting the claims of Myanmar. During her speech, Dipu said the government will not hesitate to take any “brave decision” in future to protect the country's interest.
