TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani highlighted the importance of efforts to resolve problems facing the Rohingya Muslims living in Bangladesh refugee camps and said the Islamic Republic is ready to help the South Asian country in this regard.

 

Speaking at a meeting with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the margins of the 18th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit in the Azeri capital of Baku on Friday night, Rouhani pointed to the plight of Rohingya people and said Iran is ready to help Bangladesh resolve the crisis.

Dhaka has been increasingly frustrated with the stateless minority in Bangladesh since the collapse of a recent repatriation attempt to Myanmar, and have enacted several measures making life harder for the refugees.

UN chief calls for Myanmar's cooperation to return Rohingyas.

Kuala Lumpur, Jan 20, IRNA – The UN chief accused Myanmar government of delaying return of Rohingya Muslims from Bangladesh and urged Naypyidaw to establish more cooperation with international bodies.

'I feel an enormous frustration with the lack of progress in relation to Myanmar and with the suffering of the people,' the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said addressing a press conference.

He added 'we insist on the need to create conditions for them to be willing to go back,' he said.

'Things have been too slow,' he reiterated.
