ASEAN can be very helpful in reducing Myanmar's transgressions at the border. Not just Bangladesh is affected. Thailand, a member of ASEAN, suffers significantly from Myanmar's disregard for national boundaries.

In response to recent casualties at Bangladesh's Bandarban border, the foreign ministry of Bangladesh summoned Myanmar's ambassador in Dhaka, Aung Kyaw Moe, and delivered a stern protest letter.

ASEAN may begin this process by compiling lessons learned from the war, forming support groups on the ground to better understand the problems of the state's residents, and bringing diverse communities.

The world community must awaken from its slumber and see that the man-made crisis was not caused by Bangladesh, but rather by Myanmar's internal turmoil, which was unfairly imposed on Bangladesh.

Pakistan's leadership can learn a lot from Bangladesh's experience. But the main move should be to pursue Sheikh Hasina's priority of economic growth, which is important for both defense and democracy.

Power is scarce in many nations all around the world. Diesel, fuel oil, and LNG costs have all significantly increased. Due to the abnormal price increases, the government will no longer purchase gas on the foreign market.

50 years after the separation of what was then East and West Pakistan in 1971, the exchange of mangoes as a gift from Bangladesh PM to Pak PM seems to be an indication that Bangladesh-Pakistan friendly ties are possible.

As Bangladesh PM has been practicing and showing her liberal neighborhood mindset towards India, particularly through 'Hilsa-Mango' diplomacy, it is India's especially West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee should show such kind of proactive reactions.
