International: Myanmar’s junta government has expressed strong discontent over Bangladesh’s communication with the Arakan Army (AA), an ethnic armed group controlling large parts of Rakhine State. Myanmar has sent a diplomatic letter to Dhaka, protesting the engagement and labeling the AA as a "terrorist organization" and a "non-state actor".
Bangladesh’s Home Affairs Adviser Lt. Gen. (retd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury stated that the Arakan Army controls parts of the Myanmar border, making it necessary for Bangladesh to communicate with both the Myanmar government and the AA. He said, "We pay taxes to Myanmar, but the Arakan Army also demands payments. This is a complex situation".
During his visit to Dhaka, UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need for dialogue with the Arakan Army to facilitate Rohingya repatriation. Experts suggest that strategic engagement with the AA is crucial for Bangladesh’s national interests.
