The Bangladesh–Myanmar border is the international border between both countries stretches to 271km. About 210 km of the border is fenced however; rest of the border was planned to be fenced off by Myanmar as announced in 2017.
The both neighbouring countries had a generally frigid relationship as a result of the presence of over 270,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh often served as a major irritation. The civil society and political class of Bangladesh often uttered commonality for Burma's pro-democracy struggle. However, relations between the two nations have nose-dived exponentially as a result of Rohingya genocide which has resulted in the influx of over 1.1 million Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State in Myanmar, to the Bangladesh.
Cross-border and other security threats have grown more complicated over the past few years, and difficulties are piling up quickly. Threats including international organized crime, human trafficking, terrorism, and drug trafficking are too great for any state to handle on its own. It is essential to increase cooperation on both a regional and global scale. According to official records and media reports, in the last two months, few Rohingya have been killed and nearly one dozen others, including some Bangladeshi nationals, injured by mortars firing across the border.
Bangladesh is also dealing with the situation patiently and carefully considering the sensitivity of the border area. Bangladesh hardly wants any clash in its borderlands as it may have a wide range of adverse impacts upon it such as unstable borderland, new tensions bordering districts, a new refugee crisis from Rakhine, and hindering its peaceful development. In this regard, flag meetings of both countries are often held and they agreed to start joint patrolling of border and to stop illegal infiltration of Myanmar citizens and prevention of drug trafficking. Mutual communication between the border security forces of the two friendly states was emphasized to create an environment of trust and confidence. The Myanmar’s Border Guard Police  (BGP) was called upon to keep a watchful eye to ensure that no bullets are fired inside Bangladesh in the future as a byproduct of Myanmar's internal conflict and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and BGP will not accept separatists' activities on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.
Bangladesh is always emphasizing for adherence to the Border Agreement-1980, and reiterated the national concern about the early repatriation of Displaced Myanmar Nationals from Rakhine temporarily sheltered in Bangladesh and solicited appropriate endeavor from Myanmar side. Myanmar also urged to enhance bilateral cooperation in combating illicit drugs and psychotropic substances and to prevent illegal border crossing. 
Both sides agreed to organize the coordination/flag meeting at battalion commander level once in every two months, region commandeer level twice a year, and senior level meetings between BGB and BGP twice a year. Further, Both sides agreed to maintain the border norms and practices and to share information with each other about any incident of firing/shooting/explosion/ movement of security forces at the border including early information of any flying of drones/aircrafts/helicopters to avoid misunderstanding and untoward situation and share information regarding the existence of miscreants/terrorist groups if noticed on either side of the bordering areas.
It has also been provisionally decided to hold the senior level 9th Border Conference between BGB and BGP at Dhaka, Bangladesh in May or June, 2023 based on a mutually agreed and convenient schedule.
BGP pledged to uphold a peaceful stance on the border in order to prevent the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar from being impacted by the civil war in Myanmar. Such a meeting demonstrates that all parties have a culture of open communication, mutual trust, and confidence that will serve to clear the road for the repatriation of the Rohingya.
Now United Nations, USA and other peace loving entities can play an important role in pressurizing and guiding both countries to stop foul-play to ensure stability on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.

Myanmar’s Union should also deal her alleged militant groups. The Armed conflicts in almost all states and the resistance of the People’s Democratic Force (PDF) are bringing further turmoil to the country. The ongoing conflict in Rakhine between the Junta and Arakan Army is a part of this turmoil also. Moreover, the Rakhine state is a very sensitive region as it is the home of the Rohingya. A new wave of refugees and violations of human rights can bring further instability to the region. The tension on Bangladesh- Myanmar border is a symptom of it. So, International peace loving bodies should be more active in ending the conflict in Rakhine and it should pressurize Myanmar to end its provocative actions on Bangladesh border for greater regional stability. All stake holders are to be brought to table talk to get all issues be resolved in peaceful manner rather than militant action.
