What is it that the US is after? Let us tell you.
8 Things About St. Martin Island that Sheikh Hasina said
- Geographically, St. Martin is located in the north-eastern part of the Bay of Bengal. It is about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox’s Bazar Tankaf Peninsula in Bangladesh. Its location is extremely important in terms of marine navigation.
- The second reason is seen in terms of area – the area of ​​this island is about three square kilometers. Despite its small size, its geographical and economic importance is very high, due to which this is the second important point for the US, due to which it wants to take this island.
- The third important point is – Coral reef island St. Martin Island is the only coral reef island in Bangladesh. Unlike most islands, this island is known for its coral which makes it even more special, which could be the third reason why America wants to take it.
- The fourth reason is that if we look at the population, then 3700 people live on it. The economy here is mainly dependent on things like fishing, rice cultivation and coconut cultivation.
- The fifth point is that there is a form of trade and economy inside this island, such as fish and seaweed are exported to Myanmar, due to which its importance increases more on that side.
- The sixth point is that if we look at the monitoring role, then this is a special island through which we can keep an eye on the activities of China and Myanmar, due to this also it will prove to be useful for them.
- Political dispute comes at number seven – In 2018, Myanmar included St. Martin Island in its official map, which led to diplomatic tension. After this dispute, the island was removed from Myanmar’s map, so this can also become a good political issue for them to take it.
- International recognition comes at number eight – The International Maritime Law Tribunal has recognized St. Martin Island as a part of Bangladesh. This international law supports Bangladesh’s claim, due to which these are some of the main points due to which America wants to take it.
All these points have been raised by Sheikha Hasina, due to which she has made serious allegations against America.
