Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud has said it could not be possible to contact the Somalian pirates to rescue 23 sailors.
The minister said this to journalists after attending at a seminar at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban Auditorium of Dhaka University on Wednesday (March 13).
“We're trying to rescue the sailors safely through a third party and the government has already communicated with relevant international bodies,” he said.
Hasan Mahmud said the government has already informed the Piracy Reporting Center in Kuala Lumpur, the Indian Fusion Center in New Delhi, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and the Singapore office under the Regional Cooperation Agreement against Piracy and Armed Robbery in Asia about the matter.
Besides, the situation of the Bangladesh ship has also been reported to the ships of the UK, the USA, India and China operating in that area, he said.
