The foreign ministry on Sunday summoned the Myanmar Ambassador in Bangladesh U Aung Kyaw Moe and handed over a diplomatic note to him protesting the recent incidents.
Bangladesh also reiterated her “deep concern” over falling mortar shells inside the country’s territory, indiscriminate aerial firing from Myanmar in the bordering areas, and air space violations from Myanmar.
The foreign ministry said, on September 3 two mortar shells fell inside Bangladesh between BP 40 and 41. The ambassador was asked to visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday morning to meet the Director General of Myanmar Wing.
During the meeting, the Ambassador was also told that such activities are of grave threat to the safety and security of the peace-loving people, violation of border agreement between Bangladesh and Myanmar and contrary to the good neighborly relationship.
The Ambassador was also urged to ensure that no trespassing of the internally displaced Myanmar Residents takes place from Rakhine, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
It was also stressed that a safe, secure and conducive environment in the place of their origin in Rakhine is essential for sustainable and voluntary repatriation of the displaced Rohingyas from Bangladesh.
“A diplomatic note was handed over to him today in this regard.”
Earlier, mortar shells were found inside Bangladesh launched using Myanmar territory.
The Myanmar Ambassador was asked to come to the Ministry on 21 August and 28 August 2022 and protest notes were handed over to him conveying Bangladesh’s grave concerns.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon also raised the issue with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Myanmar with “much importance”, the foreign ministry said.
