Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus on Sunday emphasised expediting the third-country resettlement of the Rohingya people who have been provided with shelter in Bangladesh.
"It should be the easiest of the process," he told the officials of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) during a meeting at his office in Dhaka, said a spokesperson for the CA.
The Chief Adviser asked the officials to fast-track the process.
During the meeting, the IOM chief of mission in Bangladesh Abdusattor Esoev gave an overview of the resettlement of the Rohingyas to developed countries including in the United States.
Washington DC has reaffirmed its commitment to resettle thousands of Rohingyas in the United States, but the process hasn't been accelerated.
He told senior Bangladesh officials that the resettlement process should be easy, regular and smooth.
The IOM Bangladesh chief said the resettlement of the Rohingyas resumed in 2022 after a gap of 12 years, but only this year the process gathered some pace.
Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain, Foreign Affairs Secretary Md Jashim Uddin, Home Affairs Secretary Abdul Momen, Secretary on SDG Affairs Lamiya Morshed, Secretary of the Ministry of the Disaster Management and Relief Kamrul Hasan and IOM deputy chief of mission Fatima Nusrath Ghazzali were also present during the meeting.
