The two-day summit of the NAM, a forum of 120 developing countries, ended on October 26 at Baku Congress Centre in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina joined the summit along with other heads of states and governments of the member states of the NAM.
On Friday, Sheikh Hasina joined the plenary session of the 18th NAM Summit and took part in a discussion titled “Upholding the Bandung Principles to ensure concerted and adequate response to the challenges of contemporary world” at Baku Congress Centre.
Speaking on the occasion, she said, “We’re currently hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas. It has the potential to destabilise our country and beyond. We’re constrained to seek support of the international community in resolving the crisis. Voluntary return of the Rohingyas to their homes in the Rakhine State in safety, security and dignity is the only solution to the crisis.”
Along with other NAM leaders, the Bangladesh prime minister attended the opening ceremony of the summit at the Plenary Hall of Baku Congress Centre.
