I read the news about the friendly behaviour of the Sri Lankan navy towards 14 Bangladeshi fishermen who lost their way due to a natural calamity in the Bay of Bengal.

Although they found them in Sri Lanka's territorial waters , they treated those fishermen as their own brothers. I am delighted to know how my countrymen were treated by the Sri Lankan people and I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Sri Lankan government as an ordinary citizen for this highly appreciable gesture towards Bangladeshi citizens. In my personal life, I will remember forever this friendly treatment and if I ever get a chance to serve any Sri Lankan in distress, I would be delighted to do my level best. Once again, please convey my sincere thanks and greetings to the Lankan navy , diplomats, and countrymen who were involved in the whole process of saving those 14 fishermen.
