Bangladesh and Myanmar discussed Dhaka's humanitarian aid, including rescue teams sent after the disaster, and Chief Adviser Prof Yunus said that Bangladesh was ready to provide more support, with ships on standby.
He made the assurance when Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Administration Council of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met him on the sidelines of the sixth Bimstec Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday.
Prof Yunus expressed condolences and sympathy to the people of Myanmar following the tragic loss of life caused by the earthquake on March 28, said Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.
The Myanmar prime minister congratulated Prof Yunus on assuming the chairmanship of Bimstec by Bangladesh.
He hoped the regional grouping would witness a new dynamism with the Bangladesh leadership.
