Bangladesh has called for early, voluntary, safe and sustained repatriation of the Myanmar nationals temporarily sheltered in Bangladesh.
The country has also expressed its willingness to work together to further the relationship with Myanmar alongside ensuring early repatriation of the Rohingya to their place of origin in Rakhine state, reports UNB.
“As an immediate and friendly neighbour, the people of Bangladesh have been persistent in developing mutually beneficial relations with the people of Myanmar and will work together to further the relationship,” said the foreign ministry in a message of felicitation on the occasion of the Independence Day of Myanmar.
On the occasion, Bangladesh expressed greetings and felicitations to the people of Myanmar and wished them peace and prosperity.
Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar district and Bhasan Char Island in Noakhali.
