DHAKA, 22 December 2021, (TON): Bangladesh wants the international community to put pressure on Myanmar by imposing economic and arms sanctions so that the southeast Asian country takes back Rohingyas from Bangladesh at the soonest.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen also floated the idea of forming a coalition of friends willing to address the Rohingya refugee problem, which has been creating huge problems for Bangladesh and the region.
He said at a seminar on the Rohingya crisis organised by a "DIPLOMATS" a local magazine "many of our development partners have been selling weapons to Myanmar. This is very sad. There are countries providing arms worth $2.4 billion.”
Besides China and Russia, India, South Korea, North Korea, Israel, Ukraine and the Philippines are supplying weapons to Myanmar, which is now being run by the military after a coup in February.
"There should be sanctions on Myanmar so none can supply weapons to Myanmar.”
