DHAKA: Bangladesh has recalled its ambassador from Myanmar, a Bangladeshi foreign ministry official said on Thursday (May 29), after it acknowledged opening a communications line with a rebel army fighting its neighbour's military junta.

Monowar Hossain, who had been serving in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw since mid-2023, was told to return to Dhaka with immediate effect, said the official, describing it as an "administrative decision" without giving further reasons.
