BANGLADESH’S foreign minister, AK Abdul Momen, has sought a ‘clear roadmap’ from the United Nations (UN) on the early repatriation of Rohingyas from Bangladesh to Myanmar.
The minister said the solution to the Rohingya crisis "lies in their safe and sustainable repatriation to Myanmar".
Momen briefed the special envoy on the Bhashan char project where the Rohingyas can engage in economic activities and stressed the engagement of the UN in providing humanitarian assistance there.
While the foreign minister invited the special envoy to visit Bhashan Char when the Covid situation improves, Burgener expressed her eagerness to visit the island where the Bangladesh government has built a township to relocate 100,000 Rohingyas from congested camps in Cox’s Bazar, the Dhaka Tribune said.
