Hon’ble Foreign Adviser thanked the High Commissioner for his visit to Bangladesh and appreciated the continued support extended by the UN to the Rohingya sheltered in Bangladesh.
He highlighted the important role of the UNHCR and the International Community in bringing a durable solution to the Rohingya crisis. Adviser Hossain shared concern that failing to bring a lasting solution to this crisis will further destabilize the peace and security of the region and that of the whole world.

He expressed optimism that the UN Conference, proposed by Hon’ble Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus will generate enough momentum for meaningful efforts from all.
