During the meeting, Kabir raised objections to the deadly shelling from across the border, which resulted in two deaths in Bandarban’s Naikhongchhari on Monday, causing panic among the local population.
Following the meeting, Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud addressed the media, expressing concern over the impact of Myanmar's internal clashes on Bangladesh.
