A visiting UK parliamentary delegation praised Bangladesh highly for receiving a large number of forcibly displaced Myanmar's Rohingya population and gave assurance that all kind of support will continue for Bangladesh to solve the refugee crisis.

The delegation led by Lucy Maria Powel, MP from the UK Labour Party, and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Greater Manchester, made the comment during a meeting with State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam at state guesthouse Padma in the capital yesterday.

The state minister also expressed deep gratitude to the British government, MPs of the House of Commons, different political parties and people for raising strong voice against the oppression on Rohingyas by Myanmar military and for pursuing the matter within the Security Council.

He requested the UK delegation to encourage its government to take further initiatives and keep pressure on the Myanmar government to stop violence against Rohingya people and to ensure peaceful and sustainable return of the forcibly displaced people from Bangladesh to their home.

He also sought support from the UK for the Third Committee resolution on Myanmar in United Nations Security Council on November 13.
