Rohingya Repatriation: Dhaka seeks help from C’wealth

DHAKA, 18 September 2021, (TON): Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has sought the Commonwealth's solidarity for smooth repatriation of Rohingyas to their home in Myanmar's Rakhine.

Leading the Bangladesh delegation in the 21st Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers' Meeting (CFAMM), he urged Commonwealth to assist in persuading the government of Myanmar to follow their commitments.

Momen highlighted the current impasse over the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMNs) voluntary repatriation to Myanmar and their partial relocation to Bhasan Char.

He also sought efforts to boost up intra-Commonwealth trade, ensure vaccine equity and result-oriented climate action.

Commonwealth leaders have commended Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's humanitarian role in taking the bold decision to give shelter to a huge number of FDMNs and thus saving thousands of innocent lives.

They also appreciated her leadership at the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF).
