DHAKA, 25 May 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr A K Abdul Momen urged UN to take practical actions to ensure early repatriation of the Rohingyas to their homeland Myanmar.
He made the urge while the newly appointed UN Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis presenting her credentials to him at the State Guest House Padma here.
A foreign ministry press release said “Lewis handed over a letter from UN Secretary General António Guterres, thereby officially entering into her new role by succeeding Mia Seppo.”
During the meeting, the minister emphasized the need for increasing efforts from the UN and other stakeholders to maintain worldwide awareness about the plight of the Rohingya people.
Momen also underscored the importance of starting the work of UN bodies in Bhasan Char following up the signing of MoU between the Government of Bangladesh and UNHCR in last October.
