Besides, EU also imposed targeted sanctions on some high-ranking military officials of Myanmar. 

While addressing to Diplomatic Correspondents Association of Bangladesh Teerink said "not all are working equally, noting that some of the regional countries are not doing enough.” 

She also spoke about the EU- Bangladesh relations including on trade and migration.
