Indonesian President Joko Widodo is scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh today on a two-day state visit. According to diplomatic sources, Bangladesh can benefit from the increased engagements between Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, and Myanmar in resolving the protracted Rohingya crisis, according to diplomatic sources. And, they said, Dhaka will seek more help from Jakarta in this regard during the visit of the Indonesian President.

Along with other bilateral, regional and global issues, the Rohingya crisis will be highlighted during his bilateral talks with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, said the sources. Although not yet finalised, the Indonesian president is most likely to visit Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Indonesia in 2015 and 2017 and invited Indonesian President to visit Bangladesh.

In September last, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi visited Dhaka and discussed the Rohingya issues.
