Japan has proposed to play a role as mediator in Tokyo taking Bangladesh and Myanmar onboard to find a peaceful solution to Rohingya crisis ensuring their safe return to their place of origin in Rakhine State.
Bangladesh will consider the proposal as it is looking for the resumption of Rohingya repatriation.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen conveyed it to reporters after a bilateral meeting with his Japanese counterpart Tara Kono at State guesthouse Meghna on Tuesday evening.
The Japanese Minister, who visited Rohingya camp, will leave for Yangon on Wednesday to talk to Myanmar leadership over the Rohingya issue.
Dr Momen said his Japanese counterpart will convey Bangladesh’s message to Myanmar authorities apart from sharing his own observation.
Bangladesh conveyed to Japan that Japanese investment both in Bangladesh and Myanmar will be affected if the Rohingya crisis remains unresolved for long as he fears pockets of radicalism.
