Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen urged Brunai for putting more focused efforts on part of the ASEAN for bringing about a durable and permanent solution to the Rohingya crisis.
He made the urge during a video call with his Bruneian counterpart Dato Erywan Pehin Yusof on the second instant. During the conversation, Dr. Momen shared his apprehensions of the potential security risks not only for Bangladesh, but also for South Asia and the South East Asian region if the Rohingya crisis is left festering any longer.
The foreign minister said Bangladesh attaches high importance to its warm relations with Brunei.
During the talk, both ministers reviewed the important aspects of existing bilateral relations and agreed to explore new areas of cooperation for further cementing the relations.
The Bangladesh foreign minister reiterated his call to Myanmar for taking necessary confidence building measures to facilitate the voluntary repatriation of the displaced Rohingya people to the State of Rakhine in Myanmar.
Recognizing the huge burden imposed on Bangladesh due to the Rohingya crisis, Dato Erywan Yusof expressed his full sympathy and observed that the situation was unfair to Bangladesh.
