Salahuddin urges stronger international engagement to resolve Rohingya crisis

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Wednesday called for continued international diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe and dignified repatriation of forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals to their homeland, with their civil rights and dignity protected.

“The long-standing crisis must come to an end by facilitating their return to their own land,” he said during a meeting with a delegation from the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the Rohingya at the Secretariat.

British MP Imran Hussain led the delegation which also included Hassan Uzzaman Khan, parliamentary researcher Mohammad Tahmid Marzouq Morshed, and Altaf Hussain, head of fundraising at the organisation Orphans in Need.

During the meeting, they discussed a lasting solution to the Rohingya crisis, their safe and dignified repatriation and the ongoing legal proceedings over the Rohingya issue at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Salahuddin highlighted the need to continue multifaceted diplomatic efforts at the international level to resolve the crisis.

The UK delegation reaffirmed its commitment to playing an active role in ensuring justice for the Rohingya and mobilising greater support from the international community.

Officials concerned at the Ministry of Home Affairs were also present at the meeting.
