Bangladesh seeks cooperation from international communities for the safe return of the forcefully displaced Rohingya people as there was no substantial progress in the bilateral move with Myanmar for their repatriation since 2018.
‘There is no significant progress in the repatriation of the forcefully displaced Rohingyas to their home land Myanmar. We seek cooperation from international communities so that Myanmar takes them back ensuring their security and rights as citizens,’ said state minister for disaster management and relief Md Enamur Rahman after USAID deputy administrator for policy and programming Isobel Coleman and chief of Independent Investigative Mechanism on Myanmar Nicholas Koumjian held separate meetings with him in his secretariat office.
The junior minister told reporters that Bangladesh had already prepared a list of eight lakh Rohingya people for sending them back home.
‘We have handed over a list of 35,000 Rohingya people to the Myanmar authorities for their repatriation initially,’ he added.
