Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said Rohingya crisis will be a major issue for discussion during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina\u2019s visit to China next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Rohingya issue will come up as a major topic during Honorable Prime Minister\u2019s China visit and we hope, after that, Myanmar will get more pressure to take back their people,\u201d he told journalists at the foreign ministry here.<\/p>\n
The foreign minister said they are working on fixing the date of Prime Minister\u2019s visit to China. \u201cWe are hopeful to make the visit in the first week of July,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Momen said China is sincere to help Bangladesh in tackling the crisis. \u201cChina always advised us to resolve the problem through bilateral discussion with Myanmar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said Myanmar never said that they would not take back their citizens, rather they repeatedly promised that Rohingyas would be repatriated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are urging our friendly countries, especially those having influence on Myanmar like China to create pressure on them (Myanmar) for creating conducive environment inside Rakhine for their safe repatriation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The foreign minister thanked the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for asking its ad hoc ministerial committee led by Gambia to launch a case over Myanmar\u2019s human rights violations against Rohingyas at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a big move by OIC. Gambia\u2019s attorney general will take the lead to file the case while all OIC member countries will support him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Momen said the Myanmar government will be under pressure if the ICJ observes that Rohingyas belong to Rakhine state. \u201cIf there is a verdict, it will be easy for international community to take initiatives to enforce the judgment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh is hosting over 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas in Cox\u2019s Bazar district and most of them arrived there since August 25, 2017 after a military crackdown by Myanmar termed as \u201ctextbook example of ethnic cleansing\u201d by the UN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
