Foreign Minister Hassan Mahmood has said that members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) are on alert in view of the tense situation in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
He made this comment while answering the questions of journalists at the State Guest House Padma in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
The Foreign Minister spoke to journalists after a courtesy call on representatives of the British Parliament.
For the past several months, a fierce battle has been going on in Rakhine, Myanmar between the Myanmar Army and the armed group Arakan Army.
