Rohingya crisis

Hasina, Modi for expediting efforts for repatriation

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi yesterday agreed on the need to expedite "safe, speedy and sustainable" repatriation of Rohingyas to their homes in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.

They agreed on the need for "greater efforts" to be made to facilitate their return, including by improving security situation and socio-economic conditions in Rakhine.

The two leaders discussed the issue at a bilateral meeting held at Hyderabad House in New Delhi.

Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas and most of them entered Cox's Bazar since august 25, 2017.

Two repatriation attempts went unsuccessful amid lack of required conditions in Rakhine State and Myanmar's failure to remove "trust-deficit" among Rohingyas.

Prime Minister Hasina conveyed the gratitude of the government of Bangladesh for the humanitarian assistance provided by India since September 2017 to help meet the needs of the displaced persons from Myanmar, according to a joint statement issued on the official visit of Prime Minister Hasina to India.
