Dhaka - The vice-chairman of Myanmar's military junta, General Maung Aye, arrived in Dhaka Tuesday for bilateral talks with Bangladeshi leaders, officials said.

The chief of Bangladesh's military-backed interim government, Fakhruddin Ahmed and cabinet colleagues including army chief Moen U Ahmed welcomed Maung Aye at the international airport.

The Myanmar general leads a 55-member delegation including seven government ministers on the three-day official visit.

Fakhruddin is expected to host talks on regarding disputes over a maritime boundary, construction of a cross-border road link, and leasing of Myanmar land to Bangladeshi farmers for cultivation, his press secretary said.

General Maung Aye will also make a courtesy call on President Iajuddin Ahmed. (dpa)
