Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen has said safe, voluntary and sustainable repatriation is the only solution of the Rohingya crisis.
He made the remarks while delivering the key note speech at the "High Level meeting on Rohingya Refugees" arranged by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Bangkok, Thailand on Tuesday, a foreign ministry press release said Wednesday.
Dr. Momen urged for international community's meaningful engagement in
Rakhine State to improve the situation there and to boost humanitarian
support for the Rohingyas staying in Bangladesh.
The ongoing learning in Myanmar Curriculum and portable skill development
activities for Rohingyas in Cox's Bazar and Bhasan Char should complement the
repatriation initiatives, he said.
During the event, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi called
on Bangladesh Foreign Minister.
Dr Momen thanked UNHCR for its continued humanitarian support for the
Rohingyas and sought cooperation to realize the right and expectation of the
forcefully displaced people to return to Myanmar.
Noting that voluntary repatriation as the solution of the Rohingya crisis,
Grandi assured to continue efforts to achieve that objective.
