Bangladesh: Dhaka seeks EU’s role for early Rohingya repatriation

DHAKA, 05 August 2022, (TON): Bangladesh has sought the European Union’s role to put pressure on Myanmar for early repatriation of the Rohingya community to their place of origin in the Rakhine State.

Bangladesh mentioned that the countries like the UK, US, Spain, Japan, Korea, and France are investing and doing even more trading with Myanmar.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen met high representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission Josep Borrell Fontelles on the sidelines of the Asean Regional Forum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

During the meeting, he raised the Rohingya repatriation issue which has never seen any light for the past five years.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Momen strongly sought the EU’s support in putting pressure on Myanmar to take back their nationals.”
