China to play ‘constructive role’ in Rohingya repatriation: envoy

British high commissioner promises cooperation, govt to bring back convicted nationals: FM

Chinese ambassador Zhang Zuo on Sunday said his country would play a constructive role in repatriation of the displaced people of Myanmar from Bangladesh.

‘China is willing to play constrictive role to realize repatriation of the displaced people and will maintain close communication with Bangladesh and Myanmar to find a practical solution to the crisis,’ he said in a meeting with foreign minister AK Abdul Momen in Dhaka. 

Zhang said this as the minister sought China’s strong support so that ‘Myanmar moves in the right direction for resolving Rohingya crisis,’ according to a foreign ministry press release. 

Momen also requested the ambassador to take effective measures for speedy implementation of projects funded by China’s development assistance. 

Ambassador Zhang also underlined the importance of the bilateral consultation mechanisms to steer the practical cooperation between the two countries.

After a separate meeting with British high commissioner Allison Blake, foreign minister Momen told journalists without mentioning any name that the government is in the process of bringing back convicted Bangladesh nationals living abroad. 

Asked if there is any likelihood of a specific move on bringing back opposition BNP’s acting chairperson Tarique Rahman from London, the minister said the law ministry is working on that matter. 

Tarique, who has been living in London since September 2008, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a case filed over the grenade attack on Awami League rally in 2004. He was also sentenced to seven years in jail in a money laundering case in 2016.
The minister urged the UK to continue the existing overall support after Brexit, according to a foreign ministry press release. 

Blake assured the minister that UK will remain constructively engaged with the new government and continue its support to achieve the goal of Bangladesh to be an upper middle income country by 2021 and SDGs by 2030.

She also said that British investors are very interested to do business in diverse sectors in Bangladesh, showing an additional interest in infrastructure in particular.

Both sides agreed to remain constructively engaged with the new government with a view to working together and collaborating on issues of mutual interests like trade and investment, good governance, deeper economic partnership, Rohingya crisis, migration, climate change and beyond, the ministry said. 

More than 7,00,000 Rohingyas, mostly women, children and aged people, entered Bangladesh after fleeing unbridled murder, arson and rape during ‘security operations’ by Myanmar military in Rakhine, what the United Nations denounced as ethnic cleansing and genocide, beginning from August 25, 2017.

The ongoing Rohingya influx took the number of undocumented Myanmar nationals and registered refugees in Bangladesh to about 11,16,000, according to estimates by UN agencies and Bangladesh foreign ministry.

Not a single Rohingya refugee returned to Rakhine since the two countries signed three agreements for facilitating the repatriation process under supervision of the UN.
