Bangladesh and Myanmar have discussed the humanitarian assistance provided by Bangladesh, including the deployment of Bangladeshi rescue teams to Myanmar, in response to the disaster.
“We remain ready to provide further humanitarian support. Our ships are ready,” said Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.
He made the assurance when Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Administration Council of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met him on the sidelines of the sixth BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday.
Prof Yunus expressed condolences and sympathy to the people of Myanmar following the tragic loss of life caused by the earthquake on March 28, said Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.
