PM, FM hailed

Different organisations and individuals congratulated Prime Minster Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister Dipu Moni for Bangladesh's winning the legal battle with Myanmar in the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) over its maritime right in the Bay of Bengal.
ITLOS on Wednesday read out the landmark verdict, which sustained Bangladesh's claim to 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic and territorial rights in the Bay rejecting the claims of Myanmar.
In a joint written statement, Communist Party of Bangladesh President Monjurul Ahsan Khan and General Secretary Mujahidul Islam Selim hoped that Bangladesh would win in the verdict against India on the same issue.
The leaders also expressed caution about the proper use of this vast resource in the sea as the foreign companies like ConocoPhillips are engaged to explore the natural resources.
Bangladesh Society for the Enforcement of Human Rights (BSEHR) and Jahangirnagar University Vice Chancellor Prof Shariff Enamul Kabir also congratulated the prime minister and foreign minister for winning the milestone verdict.
