Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said resettlement of a few Rohingyas in the US is not a solution and the answer to the crisis is repatriation to Myanmar.

"The solution is that they will have to return to their homeland. It's a process," he told reporters in Cox's Bazar after attending a programme.

Momen said the United States is taking a few Rohingyas as a follow up to his discussion with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

There is a list of 62 Rohingyas, of whom 24 are being taken to USA in the first batch, said the foreign minister.

Bangladesh is requesting big nations to take at least 100,000 Rohingyas each, to share Bangladesh's burden, he said.

"Some of them are going as part of family reunification. They have their relatives there. I think that's how the list of 62 was made. But it is up to them," added Momen.

The Biden administration announced on September 27 that the cap on refugee admissions for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 would be 125,000—the same as the cap for FY 2022.

US Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, Julieta Valls Noyes, on Tuesday met Foreign Minister Momen and discussed a "comprehensive approach" to the protracted Rohingya crisis with international support.

When asked about relocation of some Rohingyas to the United States, Momen said it is "just a drop in the ocean", as Bangladesh is hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas.

He said the US did not mention an exact number but he hinted the number could be as low as 62 in the beginning.

"The United States is proud to be able to support resettlement in our country of the very vulnerable Rohingya. This is a priority of President Biden. We are discussing with other governments and with other partners. We will be working together with the international community," US Assistant Secretary Noyes said, thanking Momen for Bangladesh's life-saving support for the Rohingyas.
