Rohingya issue to get priority during
Bangladesh will keep the Rohingya issue on its priority list for discussion during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s planned visit to China in the first week of July, Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen indicated yesterday.
“The Rohingya issue will come up as a major topic during PM’s China visit,” he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that Myanmar will feel more pressure to act and take back their nationals.
Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.2 million Rohingyas and majority of them entered the country since August 25, 2017.
Bangladeshi and Chinese sides are working to finalise dates for PM’s visit.
China has been advocating for resolving the Rohingya crisis peacefully through discussion between Bangladesh and Myanmar.
