Bangladesh said it remains committed to supporting neighbours in their time of need.

Bangladesh will continue to promote friendship, mutual respect and understanding, and humanitarian cooperation with Myanmar.

These essential supplies—including tents, food packets, dry rations, drinking water, blankets, clothing, hygiene products, and other essentials —were transported to Yangon by the Bangladesh Navy Ship Somudra Avijan, reflecting our strong commitment to stand beside our neighbours in times of need.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh, the Armed Forces Division and the Bangladesh Navy coordinated the transport and delivery of the assistance.

In this third consignment, 120 metric tonnes of relief material have been delivered, said the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon.
