Joint Exploration seems to be the best option.


It's impossible because you cannot negotiate with them. We want negotiation but they sent warship to explore oil first. Here is a news. If you read it then you'll understand that they always think in the wrong way.

Here it is :

Bangladeshi diplomats head to Myanmar for energy row talks

7 hours ago

YANGON (AFP) —

Bangladeshi diplomats headed to Yangon on Wednesday to try and smooth tensions over gas exploration in disputed waters, as a Myanmar official implied the United States had a hand in the row.

Bangladesh earlier this week deployed four warships to the Bay of Bengal close to the border between the two countries after accusing Myanmar of carrying out gas exploration in a disputed stretch of sea.

Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, Bangladesh's foreign minister, said a three-member team led by foreign secretary Touhid Hossain had left for Yangon.
"I hope there is a diplomatic solution to this issue and the relevant authorities would dismantle the installation in disputed territorial waters," Chowdhury told AFP.

He also warned of possible military action, should Myanmar continue with its exploration work.


"Our intention has always been peaceful. But we have to let them know that Bangladesh will defend her territorial sovereignty in every way possible," he said.

A senior official from Myanmar's military government said they were open to talks, but insisted that oil and gas companies were operating inside their territory and far away from the disputed sea boundary.
"We will try to solve this peacefully, but we are also ready to protect our country if needed ... we will not tolerate being insulted, although we do want good will. We will continue with exploration," he told AFP.

The official, who refused to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media, claimed that other countries were meddling in the spat, and implied that the United States had a hand in the dispute.
"The acts of Bangladesh have the signs of instigation by outsiders," he said. "A US warship is now in Bangladesh doing joint exercises. Bangladesh threatened us with no reason."


A spokesman at the American embassy in Dhaka said that a US Navy salvage ship had arrived last week in the southeastern Bangladesh port of Chittagong, but said it was there for a salvage and diving operation.
"This exercise has nothing to do with (the) Bangladesh-Myanmar dispute. This is unrelated and the US ship is nowhere near the disputed waters," he said.


Another Myanmar official confirmed that the delegation from Bangladesh had arrived, and said they would travel to the new capital Naypyidaw on Thursday before returning home on Friday.

Myanmar has been ruled by the military since 1962, and is under economic sanctions by the United States and Europe over the long-running detention of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and human rights abuses.

The United States has been Myanmar's harshest critic, pushing for UN Security Council resolutions against the isolated nation, which has responded by accusing US leaders of plotting to overthrow the government.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, has put its navy on high alert, deploying four warships close to the exploration rig -- owned by a South Korean firm -- in the disputed waters of the Bay of Bengal.

"All the ships are ready with arms and ammunition," said one naval official.

Myanmar has discovered huge reserves of natural gas in the Bay of Bengal and has made it clear it intends to explore further in an area also claimed by Bangladesh. The two countries have held a series of meetings in the past year aimed at resolving the dispute over their maritime boundary.

Now you tell me how will you cooperate and JOINTLY explore for gas and oil.
 
.
Still Myanmar refused to wthdraw from our sovereign territory. What do you think BD should do after all these incidents...?

This seems technically incorrect. EEZ is not "sovereign territory".

If at all the war happens, it will be one short war! Given the naval resources that can be brought to bear, should not last more than a few hours.

Myanmar and Bangladesh have a chequered history. There are many burmese muslim refugees in bengladesh, who have fled the intermittent violence and riots against teh peaceful muslim communities in northern burma. T

he monks who would not hurt a fly, have many a times banded together to stone and kill muslims just because they are not buddhists. Their suffering is one of the untold Human Rights violations of the world. As the victims are muslims, no one bothers reporting more than a few one liners, here and there.

The only answer to aggression is having a defiant attitude, maybe fire a couple of shots along the short international border. That will show them who they are dealing with.

Myanmar is the country that don't respect their nationals moreover they often kill them,rape them and awarding stars and stripes to those people who are expert in human rights abuses. We are the neighbor that has been holding their national as refugees for years,feeding them, giving them education,healthcare,security and place to live. We are taking these burdens for years but did Myanmar paid a single dollar for that? Myanmar is almost isolated from the rest of the world but we have given them the hand full of cooperation (we all know the how many & details). They are actively involved in drag trafficking to Bangladesh including yaba and stuff. Because of their abuse, people come here as refugees, then we give them food to survive and they give drugs our youths to die. They should be proud that at least we had taken them into account and gave them some respect. And as a result, the monkey is in the shoulder.

This is not the correct question, the correct question would be, do you want war to happen over some resources and disputed territory? and is it worth it?.

Bangladesh is now holding about 2 million Burmese Rohingya refuges. Also there are 450000 standard Pakistani living in here after 1971 as they didn't get back. Pakistan refused to take them back (This year BD Govt. has given all of them Bangladeshi nationality) as Pakistan is already holding huge number of refuges from Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the brotherhood that we have in our Muslim world, to help people when they are in huge trouble.

Oh my.... Look. Myanmar made that DISPUTE, it has always been OURS. They claimed our area as their asset and you are asking me "is it worth it?"

Dude ask yourself please.

BD would certainly be justified to use force against Myanmar if needed , they are probably getting desperate for energy resources as they are by and large an isolated nation and closed economy ruled by military (always a deadly combo).

As of BD has around 5 warships in BOB and their delegation should set some sort of deadline for withdrawal and if ti si not adhered to then use air force to destroy drilling ops in BD territory.

Looking at the history of the conflict , I know that BD is not in the wrong - if they allow such uncontrolled drilling in their waters it would give a failed state more encouragement.

It appears as though Myanmar is throwing the gauntlet down to Dhaka and the correct mix of Force and Diplomacy could find a way here .

Listen, war is not child's play for you or any country. You don't advocate war unless all diplomatic efforts has been exhausted and a threat to your security. Your immature behaviour of "they don't want to talk" and "shoot before talk" nonsense is not going to solve anything.

Not to mention that you don't shut the door to diplomacy just because the other side don't want to tangle with you. If everyone acts like you then we will see war every day around the world.

Territorial disputes is not only happening in your area. This happens in other places too. Do you see them starting wars just because the other side don't play ball?. Disputes is a complicated matter and it takes time to resolve.

The situation is a dispute, therefore there are uncertainties. The first step is to resolve these uncertainties, be it through bilateral talks or intermediataries. Diplomacy and negotiations are the way forward here. Not "start shooting and talk later" attitude.
