Myanmar envoy summoned for 'showing' St Martin's as their territory

The government has summoned the Myanmar acting ambassador in Dhaka over its deliberate attempt to show St Martin’s as their territory.

Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a letter in this regard on Thursday.

According to the letter, the acting ambassador of Myanmar has been asked to visit the foreign affairs ministry office at 3 pm today.

Earlier in October last year, Myanmar took the same attempt and was handed over a strong-worded protest note.

In response, the Myanmar ambassador then acknowledged the matter saying that it was a mistake to show St. Martin’s as their territory.

The government summoned Myanmar envoy five times in last two months over various issues.
