Bangladesh remains vigilant along the border with Myanmar and sees no scope for any untoward incident, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam has said.
"There’s no scope for any untoward incident," he told reporters adding that security forces are keeping eyes on it the way they always do.
The State Minister made the remarks on Tuesday regarding Myanmar military's visible and suspicious movement close to the border, reports UNB.
He said Myanmar did not inform Bangladesh beforehand about such deployment though there is a practice to share with neighbouring countries.
Shahriar said the national election in Myanmar is approaching and there are always changes internally ahead of any election and this might be part of this. "We also need to keep it in our mind."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday summoned Myanmar Ambassador to Bangladesh Aung Kyaw Moe and protested the visible movement of Myanmar military very close to Bangladesh-Myanmar border.
Bangladesh noticed suspicious movement of Myanmar military forces on fishing trawlers close to the maritime international border since Friday.
The Bangladesh side asked Myanmar to stop such suspicious movements so that no misunderstanding takes place between the two countries.
Such movement of military along the international border might create panic among Rohingyas living on both sides of the border, sources said.
