On Sunday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina requested South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon to covey Myanmar for an early peaceful solution to the Rohingya crisis.
“The displacement of Rohingyas from Myanmar to Bangladesh has posed risks to peace and stability of our region. We hope Korea will engage with Myanmar for an early peaceful solution to the Rohingya crisis,” Hasina said.
In reply, the South Korean PM said, “Anything we can do we’ll do.”
Concerning the Rohingya issue, the Bangladesh PM said, “Sustained international pressure and engagement are needed to complement our bilateral efforts with Myanmar to resolve the humanitarian crisis peacefully. If the displaced Rohingyas are assured of safety, dignity and access to their land and property, they will be encouraged to go back to Myanmar.”
Sheikh Hasina also appreciated the Republic of Korea for supporting the adoption of a resolution on the situation of Human Rights in Myanmar at the UNGA in November 2018.
The Korean prime minister Lee Nak-yon highly appreciated Bangladesh for giving shelter to a huge number of Rohingyas after the massacre of 2017.
