"The prime minister of Bangladesh has a standing invitation to visit India."Beyond bilateral relations and development cooperation, the rapidly deteriorating situation in Myanmar, where the junta has been repeatedly defeated by resistance groups, is scheduled to be discussed during Kwatra's discussions in Dhaka.The situation near Bangladesh's border with Myanmar's Rakhine state, where opposition groups have made significant progress, is causing increasing anxiety in Dhaka. On May 3, the Arakan Army took control of the security forces' headquarters in Maungdaw town, Rakhine state, and over the weekend, about 200 border guards from Myanmar crossed into Bangladesh.India and Bangladesh are facing similar security difficulties as a result of the situation in Myanmar, and they recently worked together to remove their ambassadors from Sittwe town.Key crossing and border trade points with Bangladesh and India have been taken over by the resistance forces, and they have also taken control of numerous military bases along these borders. As a result, these countries are currently dealing with the influx of Burmese troops seeking refuge in their territories.
