A good gesture
It's a great pleasure for the people of Bangladesh that we have won a big boundary area from Myanmar in the sea without any bloody conflict. If we can utilise the resources there, it would certainly contribute a lot to our national economy. However, we also have a dispute with India about the maritime boundary in the Bay of Bengal. We also have a long history of bilateral talks with India for the settlement of this dispute. Still India is giving emphasis on bilateral talks to solve the problem. But our Foreign Minister Dr. Dipu Moni has asserted that the International Tribunal for Law of the Sea (ITLOS) would settle the dispute now and if we decide to have bilateral talks, that must be done according to the law of the Tribunal. I think through this she has proved her prudence. She deserves respect as a foreign minister.
