The foreign minister said the solution to Rohingya crisis lies in their safe and sustainable repatriation to Myanmar, which couldn’t even be commenced in last four years.
During the meeting, Momen referred to the negative impacts of protracted presence of the Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar, particularly for the host community, and stated that if repatriation doesn’t commence soon, it would only deteriorate the overall situation there and create instability in the region and beyond.
He briefed the special envoy on the Bhashan Char project where the
Rohingya could engage in economic activities and stressed on the
engagement of UN in providing humanitarian assistance there.
