Staff Reporter: Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Sunday expressed hope that neighbouring India will comply with their “zero death” position.
He said that Bangladesh and India want zero death along the border between two neighbours but it is happening.
He said they are also “concerned” like others about the deaths along the border.
“We are concerned like you. We would relay the message to India so that they comply with their position what they have told us already — no death along the border,” said the foreign minister while talking to journalists at a press conference at his ministry.
He said Bangladesh has renewed their call for zero death along the border during talks between border forces of the two countries.
Replying to a query the minister also said that it is not true that Kashmiri students are not given Bangladeshi visas.
The press conference was arranged hours ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
