Bangladesh urges UN to effectively engage in sustainable Rohingya repatriation
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AA) – Bangladesh on Sunday urged the United Nations to effectively engage with Myanmar for sustainable repatriation of the Rohingya.
Bangladeshi Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen made the appeal while meeting with the visiting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet in the capital Dhaka on Sunday evening, said a Foreign Ministry statement.
Claiming that the Bangladesh government has been taking good care of the persecuted Rohingya since the very beginning and even during the pandemic by providing vaccines, Momen urged the UN system, including UNDP, “to undertake projects in Rakhine to create a conducive environment for the return of the Rohingya.”
Bachelet assured the host country of the “UN’s continued efforts to realize the safe and voluntary return of the Rohingya to Myanmar.”
