[punit]

This is something close to israel by landmass.

It is most probably a addition of atleast 10-15 cities into Bangladesh.Congrats

We are also looking for IOK with ladakh excluded to india

bhai kabhi padh liya kar .. comment marne ke pehle!

here comes Awami cheerleading band. When these territory are all along belonged to Bangladesh as we claim, how is that a win? Did we win the war to add new territory? NO.

About exploration blocks, indian subservient Awami League already given indian ONGC exlploration blocks without bidding process. Question should be asked if these resources are to be hand over to india, what is the worth of your and Awami claim?

see .. its our victory any way ! @BDforever

 

[Imran Khan]

Good for both

 

[jaunty]

Looks like the jamatis are upset because it got resolved in BD's favor. One less chance of propaganda.

U.N. tribunal rules for Bangladesh in sea border dispute with India| Reuters

(Reuters) - A U.N. tribunal has awarded Bangladesh nearly four-fifths of an area sprawling over 25,000 sq km (9,700 sq miles) in the Bay of Bengal, ending a dispute over a sea border with India that has ruffled ties between the neighbours for more than three decades.

The verdict, binding on both countries, opens the way for Bangladesh to explore for oil and gas in the Bay of Bengal, the site of important energy reserves.

"It is the victory of friendship and a win-win situation for the peoples of Bangladesh and India," Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali told a news conference on Tuesday to announce the ruling of the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) on the sea boundary.

The dispute had hampered the economic development of both countries for more than 30 years, he added.

"We commend India for its willingness to resolve this matter peacefully by legal means and for its acceptance of the tribunal’s judgment," Ali added.

India also welcomed the judgment, reflecting new Prime Minister Narendra Modi's focus on building closer regional ties. In a rare gesture, Modi invited South Asian leaders to his inauguration in May.

"The settlement of the maritime boundary will further enhance mutual understanding and goodwill between India and Bangladesh by bringing to closure a long-pending issue," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

"This paves the way for the economic development of this part of the Bay of Bengal, which will be beneficial to both countries."

Bangladesh, with a population of 160 million and strong economic growth, has battled supply shortages to keep its gas-fired power plants and industries running.

The award brings to an end an arbitration process Bangladesh kicked off in 2009 under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, over disputes with Myanmar and India.

The Myanmar dispute was settled in 2012 after arbitration at the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea in Hamburg.

Bangladesh finally won more than 118,813 square km of waters comprising territorial sea and an exclusive economic zone extending out to 200 nautical miles, the minister said.

So, meaning Bangladesh gave up 6,135 km ?

It seems so...Bangladesh was fighting to free its 25000 sq km of maritime area from aggressor, went to international court and then got 19k + from there own area. This is a nice game to play...first grab then do business with others properties like it's happening on Teesta river and transit issue. There are several points to be noted, the verdict was halted all on a sudden which was supposed to come out on June...without showing any reason it was stopped then. Now it's out and Bangladesh lost its 6000 sq km. I wouldn't say this, would accept without any question but when I see that South Talpatti was given to india and also the judges there at intl court didn't follow equidistance or equity rather judged on their own, I guess there's some background engineering that probably we'll never know. South Talpatti can never go to india, it's in Bangladesh maritime area.

Congrats to sane Bangladeshis.
I suggest the insane Bangladeshis to cross the border and mock the BSF.
