Hasina told Mia Seppo that Bangladesh has given shelter to the forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals on humanitarian grounds. “They should return to their country,” she said.
The Prime Minister mentioned that if these Rohingyas-more than one million – continue to live here it will create various social problems in Bangladesh and said the NGOs which are working in Bangladesh can also work for the Rohingyas in their homeland.
They also discussed the issues relating to Covid-19, climate change and women empowerment.
The Prime Minister said the government has ensured women participation in every sphere of government jobs and even in sociopolitical areas.
