What's new

Despite Dhaka's plea, India refrain from publicly nudging Myanmar on return of Rohingyas from Bangladesh

The regional politics is completely different in this region comparing the Pakistan - Afghanistan region during Soviet era .

So surely Bangladesh don't want to be used as trump card against the new cold war between China and USA .

Still however Bangladesh could be a solid trump card ,if USA was allied with other country and not with India.

Tbh Bangladesh have no earthly reason to trust India and it's expansionism .

So now if Bangladesh doesn't maintain good relationship with China and take USA side completely, then once when USA will withdraw it's shelter ( as did for Pakistan) ,then Bangladesh will be in huge trouble( by India), because no powerful China will be there to stop India's expansionism.

So although China gave vote against Bangladesh , we assume that it's for her own necessarybenefit.

We have no land border with China and can't help China to get access to bay of Bengal ( like Pakistan can offer them direct root to Arabian sea) , so if China doesn't take Myanmar side ( at least partially) , then if their is a war between USA and china ,China will be in huge trouble.

So in order to get equal play ground against USA and NATO , perhaps China don't want to lose Myanmar , so voted against Bangladesh ,too keep Myanmar happy .So that Myanmar dont join parmanently to western block,and a hostile naval blockade against China ( by USA and NATO) at Malacca straits can't bring China down on it's knees!

So with due respect , I believe we understand the ground reality of this area much better than American civilians , so we are maintaing good relationship with China , because we know that China desperately need direct access to bay of Bengal through Myanmar in order to counter USA and it's NATO ally .

So perhaps you understand now that Bangladesh should be taken very seriously because she knows the regional dirty politics very well and can play accordingly.

Trying to survive isn't bad at all, neither for us , nor for China !

At the end of the day Bangladesh is the country most impacted by the Rohaniya crisis. Where does Bangladesh stand with respect to the Rohaniyas ? the government has to decide one way or other. They have decided they are going to do business with the primary backers of the Myanmar junta. It sums it all. No one including India or USA is going to do your bidding. USA tried diplomacy only to be subject to Chinese veto.

Replace Rohinyas with East Pakistanis and Myanmar with West Pakistan. Switch back to 1971. You were in the same boat.

Afsoos but still Indins are our blood brothers according to BAL. :hitwall:

Not a lot of Bangladeshis feel the same way. However we should point out that Indians themselves aren't the problem. It's their current fascist govt.
 
.
why should bangladesh be taken seriously when you award China billions of dollars in contracts ?
china vetoed UN Security council resolutions on myanmar

Because they get sh*t done, unlike businesspeople from your country India.

Do you think posting under a US flag makes people believe you are from the US?
 
.
India does not have influence on Myanmar.

Myanmar is controlled by China.

India cannot even convince Myanmar to take back Rohingyas living in India. How can it make Myanmar take Rohingyas from Bangladesh.

You have no clue...

India has vital interests in Myanmar and is building multiple ports and infra in that country.

It's one thing not to know something, quite another to knowingly mislead people.

If you don't know - then do your research please before posting misinformation.

Business is more than the Rohaniyas. You are paying China. you can get other countries to do.
thanks for playing along

Indian Foreign secretary and army chief to make first joint visit to Myanmar

The visit will also come four days after the India-Myanmar foreign office consultations.

Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla and Indian Army chief Gen MM Naravane are set to visit Myanmar on Monday, the first time an Indian delegation to the neighbouring country has included both officials, for discussions to take forward ties in areas ranging from security to connectivity.


This will be the foreign secretary’s second foreign visit, after a trip to Bangladesh in August, since the Covid-19 outbreak and the army chief’s first such visit amid the restrictions related to the pandemic, people familiar with developments said on condition of anonymity.

The visit comes against the backdrop of India’s five-month border standoff with China. New Delhi has been working steadily to boost ties with all countries in the neighbourhood barring Pakistan, and has announced a slew of initiatives ranging from currency swaps, budgetary support and connectivity projects to help other states in the region to overcome the economic impact of Covid-19.

The visit will also come four days after the India-Myanmar foreign office consultations, which were conducted virtually by Shringla and permanent secretary U Soe Han on Thursday.


During that meeting, Shringla announced that the two sides are working to operationalise Sittwe port by the first quarter of 2021 while the tendering process for 69 bridges for the trilateral highway, also involving Thailand, will begin soon.

India’s assistance to Myanmar currently stands at $1.4 billion, and New Delhi will provide debt service relief under the G20 debt service suspension initiative to Myanmar from May to December to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Despite the challenges caused by the Covid pandemic, we are working towards operationalising the Sittwe port by the first quarter of next year. With respect to the 69 bridges on the trilateral highway, I am happy to inform you that we will soon be moving forward with the tendering process,” Shringla said.


Sittwe port is part of the Kaladan multi-modal transit transport project, which is crucial to India’s plans for the landlocked northeastern states to access the Bay of Bengal through Mizoram and to provide alternative connectivity to Kolkata without having to use the circuitous Siliguri corridor.

The India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway has been held up due to problems associated with the stretch in Myanmar and the construction of the bridges is expected to speed up work on the project.

Security cooperation between India and Myanmar also figured in Thursday’s meeting, with Shringla describing it as robust. Both sides are sensitive to each other’s security concerns, he added.


Myanmar’s handing over of 22 Indian insurgents was “deeply appreciated” by India as it sent a “strong message of deterrence to inimical elements on both sides”, he added. Shringla requested Myanmar for the early conclusion of an extradition treaty, a mutual legal assistance treaty on civil and commercial matters, and an agreement on the transfer of sentenced persons.

As part of defence cooperation, an Indian team for deployment of meteorological squadrons will travel to Myanmar this month, and India will receive Myanmar’s representative at its maritime Information Fusion Centre for the Indian Ocean.

The situation in Rakhine state also figured in the meeting. India recently entered into trilateral cooperation with Japan in Rakhine, under which it will create infrastructure for 15 schools. “Our efforts towards ensuring an early, safe and sustainable repatriation of internally displaced persons to Myanmar will continue,” Shringla said.

This issue assumes importance as Bangladesh had raised the issue of one million Rohingya refugees it is hosting during the virtual meeting of the Joint Consultative Commission (JCC), which was co-chaired by external affairs minister S Jaishankar and his Bangladeshi counterpart AK Abdul Momen on September 29.

Momen had expressed the hope that India, as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council during 2021-22, will play a “more meaningful role for a lasting solution to the Rohingya crisis, including their early repatriation to Myanmar in a safe and sustainable manner”, according to a statement from Bangladesh’s foreign ministry.

Who vetoed UN resolutions that would have imposed sanctions on Myanmar ? It wasn't India.

BAL will not last forever. However AL founders were the top leaders who balkanized India as part of all India Muslim League . Current BAL is full of Indian stooges no doubt , but keep in mind , Mujib was one of the front liner who was responsible for balkanization ( or castration whatever suits you better ) of your so called Akhanda Bharat .

Her daughter is still in power although misinformed by India about her father's disaster death .

But I don't think she is too fond of India practically.

So it's better to take action against us instead of talking. Don't you know that action always speaks louder than words ?

How many army and military equipment you have ? Can you attack us with all your force by withdrawing them from Pakistan and Chinese border and attack us with brute force ?
Or are you going to use the astras of Mahabharata ?

Come on use your brain please , even you can't use Mahabharata war weapons as literally these were nothing but simple bows and arrows. Even no internet ( inferior to the technology of god race ) was available in that time ( if the war really ever happened, there is no practical evidence of the war other than epic books ) .

So yes you can't reach to Dhaka to annex us .

Besides , in a small war we defeated you and Hasina was ruling that time . So don't feel very safe because Hasina is ruling Bangladesh.

Atlas please care to explain when there was a small war between India and Bangladesh and when did you defeat India?

They day we convinced you, That we are your 'Strategic Ally'.


Also everyday when we send over dozens of our criminals to India via the unprotected border regions, small victories every day!

India doesn't have veto power by the way( thanks to almighty God ) . If it had , you wouldn't need any other country to use veto in such cases .

It is china's veto. you do not care.

Indian Foreign secretary and army chief to make first joint visit to Myanmar

Every country looks after its self-interest and it is an undue expectation that India would degrade its relationship with MM because it is in love with a great BD. Was not it that we were criticizing Indian Foreign Secretary's visit to Dhaka only a few weeks before?

What happened now that we are here criticizing when the same bureaucrat visits MM as if India's foreign policy revolves around BD? About India's Army Chief visit to MM, please take note that our great Army Chief visited MM already about a year ago. General Aziz visited to get a few pieces of jades from MM as a gift to his beloved fat wife. I do not think IA Chief visit is related to Jade gift.

MM foreign policy and military strength attract other countries, but our weak policies under the weak and greedy leadership disgust the same countries.

Our policy revolves around 1971 and we will remain stuck at that until Qayamat.
 
.
It is china's veto. you do not care.
I know it's China's veto and we care it a lot . However you said that India didn't use the veto power , that's why I said that ,if India had veto power , they would became much more aggressive than China or even former Soviet Union.

Hindutva ( not Hinduism) expansionism is the worst thing anyone would take risk .

And that's the reason , although Chinese use veto against us , I want them benefit of doubt and I already explain why .

But leaving China ( for using veto ) would be the foolish and shortsighted move .

As Rohingyas are our immediate threat , but sanghi India is the real threat to our sovereignty in long run ( because if their Akhanda Bharat project ) .

So any wise nation will be prepared for the worse consequence in long run .

So yes sanghi India is the real threat.
 
.
Our policy revolves around 1971 and we will remain stuck at that until Qayamat.
I wish the days isn't too far when the policy will be changed . Look , even BAL didn't use 1971 in politics massively in 1996 - 2001 term.
Before Mujib was friendly to Pakistan.

in future I wish the foul play will be stopped.
