Flag Meeting
BDR, Nasaka agree to maintain peace
A Correspondent, Cox's Bazar
Bangladesh and Myanmar have agreed to maintain peace on the border of the two countries at any cost.

At a sector commander level flag meeting between Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and Myanmar border security force Nasaka at Maungdaw in Myanmar yesterday morning it was resolved that all kinds of problems would be solved through discussion.

Bangladesh team leader Col Didarul Alam Chowdhury told journalists the meeting was fruitful.

Replying to a question Didarul said the situation on the border with Myanmar is now normal and the news about military build-up there is not true.

Myanmar border security force Nasaka also strongly denied the allegation at the meeting.

Nasaka Director U Aung Jing at the meeting told BDR officials they were constructing barbed wire fence on the Myanmar border in line with the international laws.

He said the aim of building fence is to prevent activities of the militants, infiltration of foreign citizens and stop smuggling on the border, adding that it would not harm Bangladesh.

The Myanmar team leader assured Bangladesh side that Myanmar would not do anything that could deteriorate brotherly relation between the two countries.

The meeting also discussed in detail the issues of infiltration of Rohingyas into Bangladesh, abduction of Bangladeshi fishermen from Naf River, stoppage of smuggling at the border and exchange of prisoners.

BDR Chittagong sector commander Col Didarul Alam Chowdhury led the 15-member Bangladesh team while Nasaka-6 headquarters Director U Aung Jinghe led the 15-member team of Myanmar.

BDR, Nasaka agree to maintain peace

Congratulations on the situation getting diffused. An analysis of the whole situation may reveal that all the hype was created by a few over ambitious and immature journos looking for a 'scoop' or 'copy'. Which was the point from where self styled strategists took over. and the rest is, as they say, history.

We have had many such experiences here in India where a well meaning and overzealous media has created news instead of just reporting it.

Good to see some mature handling of the situation by BD politicians and bureaucrats who kept their cool despite interested parties trying to inflame the situation.

After Chinese clear message to Myanmar, they backed off on escalation. But that does not mean plan india hatched will not show up in different shape and form in near future. As long as Bangladesh-China try to build highway through Myanmar, indians will come up with scheme to destroy it.

For india answer is simple if Bangladesh-China road goes ahead, indian scheme of asian highway route awami stooges govt approved will have very little significance. And indian $10 billion worth of export market in BD will be at risk.

I've deleted the rest of your quote as its an appeal to emotion fallacy..coming to your quote above .... its very obvious your understanding of international trade is either way below what google offers you currently... OR .... you willingly choose to sleep in your own poop day in and out.

Dhaka, Oct 29 (bdnews24.com)—China, which introduced tea to the world, wants to import it as one of the few products from Bangladesh to reduce huge trade gap.

"We pay great attention to this. There is trade imbalance of bilateral trade in favour of China," ambassador Zhang Xianyi said at a media briefing at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity auditorium on Thursday,

"We want to import more from Bangladesh. I travel to different parts of the country to find out what more products we can buy from Bangladesh to reduce the gap," said Xianyi.

CHINA REPLACES INDIA AS LARGEST EXPORTER TO BANGLADESH

by Anand Kumar

While India has been celebrating a high 8.1 percent economic growth in the last financial year, the performance of the country in international trade has not been equally attractive. In a significant development, India was replaced by China as the largest trade partner of Bangladesh in its immediate neighbourhood. It looks that it may not be due to economic factors alone.

China this year has emerged as the largest source of import for Bangladesh replacing India for the first time. According to the statistics of Chief Controller of Import and Export (CCIF) Bangladeshi import from China amounted to 32.14 billion taka ( 494.5 million U.S. dollars) during July-September period of the current fiscal (July 2005-June 2006) against 27.08 billion taka ( 416.6 million dollars) import from India during the same period.

Bangladesh's import from India was 123.33 billion taka (about 1. 9 billion dollars) in the 2004-05 fiscal while the amount was 99.1 billion taka (about 1.52 billion dollars) from China during the same period. India exported goods worth taka (Tk) 9,420 crore in the 2003-04 financial years while China exported products worth Tk 6,676 crore to Bangladesh in the same fiscal. India was the top source of Bangladesh's import in the 2002-2003 fiscal exporting goods worth Tk 7,845.35 crore against Tk 4,521 crore from China.

I am not worried about import at all. 80% of total Bangladeshi imports from all the countries are raw materials, intermediate goods, capital machineries. We import very few finished goods. Same goes for india as well, mostly food items and raw materials we import from India. In chinese case they are mostly capital macihneries. In both the cases, both the countries are complimentary to BD economy as we reexport those goods to western market.

A very astute analysis. Heartening to hear such sensible voices amidst the usual cacophony of psychotics and retards.

We are talking about indian view of Bangladesh market of estimated $10 billion (roughly $4 billion legal and $6 billion illegal). You had no answer to what motivates india in instigating conflict with Myanmar to keep the market for itself.

As for China trade imbalance, China addresses these concern more generously by trade concession and providing hundred of millions of dollars in loans and grants. By building crucial infrastrctures in Bangladesh. By strengthening Bangladesh defense or last 35 years. And to indian disappointment, there is no price tag for Bangladesh-China strategic friendship.

10Billion .... are you in your senses mister? If economics was not your major, its OK. But dont throw in wild numbers.

Instigating is what you CLAIM. Let me know ANY independent source claiming such. I shall await.

In 2007-08, BD imported a total $3.54 billion (roughly) worth of goods, but in the 08-09 fiscal the import was down to $2.78 billion (roughly). The less import can be accounted for the less import of foodstuff, specially the staples like rice and wheat, from India. However, many goods are smuggled from India. No one really knows the exact value of these goods.

BD quite successfully improved its agriculture after SIDR cyclone struck this country. This trend continues. This year also the food production will surpass the last year's record and thus less import. However, India itself is importing food from other countries because of lower production due to droughts.

You don’t even know simple data about national trade and you are harping on with wounded indian ego.

Read even your own source, illegal trade is twice as much as leagel trade. You are not even qualified to make comments on these issues but what can you do when your indiotic ego takes over. Combining 3.89/or 4 billion with illegal trade worth twice as much totalled more than $10 billion. And india is instigating whole lot of troubles to prevent any land route through Myanmar and destroy Bangladesh relation with that country.


Illegal trade exceeds legal deals with Bangladesh

Illegal trade across the Bangladesh border through northeast India and Bengal in 2001-02 was about eight times the legal trade for goods imported into India whereaas illegal exports was double the volume of legal exports.
