when even BD PM...
thanks for the appreciation....
nothing personal here..... I thought you know about it as you had been discussing hard here....
I just don't wish to discuss that.... those who are aware, they know what I'm talking about....
oh!!... that is a great way to balance so-called sharks like India....
previous deals were done when Bangladesh didn't have this much clout in the international arena.... but since the Padma Bridge issue, its a difference case.... the visit of Chinese Premier and the submarine deal changed...
so, you think Myanmar is your friend when they're facilitating Indian special forces within their country?.... so, in that case, you have no issues with co-operating with India or their installments, I guess....
