Recently, European Union (EU) envoy said, they are doing all they can to put pressure on Myanmar but the situation there is very difficult due to the current situation. The Head of Delegation of the EU to Bangladesh Ambassador, Charles Whiteley said, The European Union will also continue to be a “steadfast partner” of Bangladesh in meeting the needs of the Rohingya and the host community with continued pressure on Myanmar for their safe return to their place of origin in Rakhine State.
Whiteley mentioned that Rohingya repatriation should be “voluntary and safe” and “Clearly, I think, the majority of the Rohingya do want to go back to home.”
Ambassador Whiteley said Myanmar Military does not have any interest in garment factories in Myanmar.
“So, what we don’t want to do is to impose measures that punish the innocent people of Myanmar who already suffered a great deal as a result of recent events in Myanmar,” he said.
The envoy made it clear that any step to address the economic and financial ties has to take into account the human cost. “I think that’s well-understood in Bangladesh.”
