Staff Reporter :
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said that the government had been worried about border killing.
“We are worried like you. We would relay the message to India so that they comply with their position what they have told us already — no death along the border,” said the foreign minister while talking to journalists at a press conference in his ministry on Sunday.
He expressed his hope that neighbouring India would comply with their “zero death” position.
Bangladesh and India want zero death along the border between two, neighbours killing but is happening, he added.
 Abdul Momen said Bangladesh has renewed their call for zero death along the border during talks between border forces of the two countries.
Replying to a query the minister said also that it is not true that Kashmiri students are not given Bangladeshi visas.
The press conference was arranged hours ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Bangladesh wants peace in the Middle East.
“If Middle-East is affected by war, it will create inconvenience for us. So we want peace and stability in the region,” he said.
Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen and Secretary (Maritime Affairs Unit) Rear Admiral (retd) Md Khurshed Alam, among others, were present.
