The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sought an explanation from the United Nations over a report published by the UN Refugee Agency that contains factually incorrect information and wanted to know the basis of which the report was prepared.
Bangladesh expects that the UNHCR will come up with a corrected version of the report.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed the message containing its dissatisfaction to UN Resident Coordinator in Dhaka Gwen Lewis on Monday, according to sources at the MoFA.
On January 7, the UN Refugee Agency's Myanmar office said in a report that 71,300 people were displaced from Myanmar and left the country from February 2021 to December 2024, reports UNB.
All of them entered the Indian states of Manipur and Mizoram, the report said, suggesting no one displaced from Myanmar entered Bangladesh in the last three years.
