Bangladesh urged the international community Sunday to come up with a 'louder voice' to resolve the long-pending Rohingya refugee issue and ensure return to their homeland, reports UNB.

A meeting was held with stakeholders at the foreign ministry with Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque in the chair where current situation over the issue was discussed.

"We discussed the overall situation and want to see the international community to come up with a louder voice," an official who attended the meeting told the news agency.

He said the root of the problem lies on Myanmar side and they laid emphasis on the solution.

Responding to a question, the operation of some unregistered non-government organisations (NGOs) was also discussed.

The present government is trying to send back the registered Rohingya refugees, who are still in the country, and stop fresh influx of Myanmar citizens to Bangladesh.
