BANGLA-INDIA 2 LST

"What I mean to say, we have an open, ongoing bilateral
process on the issue of delimitation -- and it is progressing.
We should continue it (and) only when the process has been
exhausted without providing a solution, should we go for
arbitration," the Myanmarese envoy was quoted as saying.

"They are within their rights to do so, and we respect
that."
While announcing its decision to seek arbitration,
Bangladesh had said the ongoing negotiations on bilateral
basis would continue simultaneously.
Dhaka's move came days after New Delhi and Yangon had
formally protested Dhaka's decision to award offshore block-5,
10 and 11 to the International Oil Companies (IOCs) for
carrying out exploration and development. PTI AR
