The foreign ministers of Bangladesh and Burma have held talks in the Indian capital, New Delhi, in a bid to solve a territorial dispute in the Bay of Bengal.
Tension between the two countries was sparked last month when Burma started exploring for gas and oil in the disputed area.
Both countries continue to keep troops along their common land border.
The ministers, who met on the sidelines of a conference in New Delhi, are said to have agreed to continue high-level contacts on the issue.
Bangladesh pulled back naval ships from the disputed waters after Burma halted the exploration, following intense diplomatic efforts by Dhaka.
