Dhaka on Friday protested and expressed deep concern over the incident of killing Bangladeshi fisherman by the Myanmar navy.
"The foreign ministry served a protest to the Myanmar government over the killing of Bangladeshi fisherman identified by Usman, 60, from Kona Para, Shah Pori Island under Cox's Bazar’s Teknaf Upazila, by the Myanmar navy on October 9," an official release said, reports BSS.
In a diplomatic note sent to the Myanmar embassy in Dhaka, “Bangladesh expressed deep concern over this tragic incident”, said the foreign ministry's release.
The note also added that Myanmar should fully respect the integrity of Bangladesh's territorial waters and refrain from further provocations.
The note also expressed serious concern to Myanmar regarding the abduction of 58 Bangladeshi fishermen and six fishing boats, including one owned by Usman.
The fishermen, along with the boats, were eventually released yesterday in two phases following contact between the Bangladesh Coast Guard and the Myanmar Navy.
Myanmar was urged by Dhaka to take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of such actions.
