Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has made an appeal to the international community to work sincerely instead of giving "lip service" to repatriation talks for the Rohingyas.
"There are 1.1 million Rohingyas in the camps of Bangladesh and majority of them are girls and women. It is time for us, the world leaders…we must come forward to repatriate them and reintegrate them in Rakhine and give them a future," he said.
The minister was addressing an International Women's Day event titled "Women in Diplomacy: How are We Doing?" as chief guest. It was organised by the Diplomatic Correspondents' Association of Bangladesh (DCAB) with support of the Bangabandhu Research Centre for Foreign Policy and Diplomacy at the Foreign Service Academy today.
