Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Thursday said resettlement of a few Rohingyas in the US is “not a viable solution”, rather the solution is repatriation to their homeland in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
While talking to reporters, Momen said the United States is taking a few Rohingyas as a follow up to his discussion with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The foreign minister said Bangladesh is requesting big countries to take at least 100,000 Rohingyas each, to share Bangladesh's burden.
