NEW DELHI/YANGON (Bernama): Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday summoned Myanmar Ambassador U Kyaw Soe Moe to express the former’s deep concern over a recent cross-border firing that left a 12-year-old Bangladeshi girl severely injured.
Bangladesh reminded Myanmar that the "unprovoked firing” near Whykong Union of Teknaf in Cox's Bazar is a blatant violation of international law and a hindrance to good neighbourly relations, according to a statement by Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Myanmar was told to "take full responsibility" for the shooting and prevent such cross-border incidents in the future.
The ambassador assured Bangladesh that his government would take measures to prevent such incidents, and offered his sympathy to the injured girl and her family, the ministry statement noted. - Bernama
