Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen yesterday informed Parliament that Bangladesh did not sign any agreement with Saudi Arabia over troop deployment as it only inked a Memorandum of Understand (MoU) on defence cooperation. "Under the MoU, there's a firm conviction not to take any measure against any third party," he said joining the general discussion on thanksgiving motion on the President's speech in the House.

"Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia have signed no agreement over troop deployment. Rather an MoU has been inked on defence affairs," he said adding that signing the MoU has in no way violated the Constitution of Bangladesh.

"So, no question can be raised ....it didn't violate Article 25 of the Constitution through this MoU," the Foreign Minister told the House.
