DHAKA, 19 November 2021, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Thursday said the adoption of a resolution at the United Nations (UN) by consensus for the first time on the situation of human rights of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar has a political value and it has a pressure on that particular country.
He told reporters after attending a program at Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) “it’s a great day for us. We’re very happy.”
Dr Momen said the countries which used to create barriers like Russia and China also want solutions to the Rohingya crisis and he had discussion with Russia while China has taken some initiatives.
He said “they (Rohingyas) must go back to their country for a better future. All countries want a peaceful solution to the Rohingya issue.”
Dr Momen said “we strongly made our position clear explaining why we abstained at that time.”
