UNB, Dhaka :
Foreign Minister A H Mahmood Ali will accompany Foreign Ministers of Germany, Sweden, Japan and the European Union High Representative in their Cox’s Bazar visit to see Rohingya situation on the ground on Sunday.
Foreign Minister of Germany Sigmar Gabriel, Foreign Minister of Sweden Margot Wallström, Foreign Minister of Japan Taro Kono and High Representative of the EU Federica Mogherini will be there for a day-long visit to observe firsthand the plight of the forcibly displaced Rohingyas in Bangladesh.
The high dignitaries and their delegations are expected to separately arrive in Dhaka a day early. The combined visit of four high level delegations is the first of its kind since the crisis began in August 2017.
During the visit, the high level delegations will interact with the Rohingya people at Kutupalong.
They will also witness the humanitarian operations by the government of Bangladesh, UN agencies and local and international NGOs.
It is hoped that the visit will garner further international support for the Rohingya community, said the Foreign Ministry here on Thursday.
The high dignitaries are expected to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after their return from Cox’s Bazar on the same day. Bangladesh has been providing shelter and humanitarian support to over a million forcibly displaced Rohingya people. International community lauded Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government for the compassion and generosity shown to the Myanmar people seeking refuge in Bangladesh.
The combined visit by the Foreign Ministers of European countries, Japan and EU High Representative reflects the support for Rohingyas in the international community. It would also lend strong support to Bangladesh’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, bilateral as well as multilateral, for early and sustainable return of forcibly displaced Rohingyas in safety and dignity. After the visit, Foreign Ministers of Bangladesh and Germany are expected to travel together to Myanmar to attend the 13th Foreign Ministers’ Meeting of the ASEM in Nay Pyi Daw.
