The 23 crew members associated with the Bangladeshi vessel named MV Abdullah that the Somali pirates hijacked could be successfully rescued this month mentioned Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, the state minister of shipping, on Tuesday.

He added that the primary responsibility is to rescue and hand them over to their loved ones once they return to their homeland.
