Dhaka to brief diplomats on Rohingya today

Bangladesh will brief the diplomats stationed in Dhaka about the latest situation over the Rohingya issue today (Thursday) as two consecutive efforts to begin the repatriation of the displaced people failed amid their unwillingness and trust-deficit among them, reports UNB.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Mome will brief the diplomats and representatives of the UN agencies at 4pm at State guesthouse Padma in the city, said an official.

UN Resident Coordinator in Dhaka Mia Seppoon Tuesday said now it is up to the world to help keep it that way by making sure Bangladesh does not shoulder this burden alone as Bangladesh has "certainly done its part" when it comes to the Rohingya crisis.

She said Bangladesh responded with empathy to a group of people who fell victims to hatred, and now the global leadership needs to act.

UN Resident Coordinator said the UN is committed to getting the right for both the Rohingyas and the people of Bangladesh as they deserve the world's support in confronting problems related to Rohingyas.

"Any solution has to be sustainable. Sustainability is not something that can happen overnight. It takes time and thoughtful consideration for how everything we do today will set the stage for what is possible tomorrow," she said.
