Many global actors don’t want Rohingyas to be repatriated now – Momen
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said Myanmar is willing to take the Rohingyas but some foreign governments and international organisations do not support their repatriation at this moment.
“They (international community) think it will not be wise to send back the Rohingyas to Myanmar until democracy is restored there,” he told a small group of reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Momen said they think there is a need for a positive approach from all stakeholders who are working on the Rohingya issue to begin repatriation.
“Foreign governments and international organisations suggest us not to go for repatriation,” Momen said.
“Foreign governments and international organisations suggest us not to go for repatriation. The Rohingyas are willing to return while the Myanmar government is also willing to take them back. Our priority is repatriation. I always remain optimistic that they will have better life upon their return to Myanmar.”

He said the Rohingyas are willing to return while the Myanmar government is also willing to take them back. Chinese Special Envoy for Asian Affairs Deng Xijun, who recently visited Dhaka, came only to discuss the Rohingya issue.
Chinese Special Envoy for Asian Affairs Deng Xijun, who recently visited Dhaka, is trying, the minister said.
“He came only to discuss the Rohingya issue,” Momen said.
Xijun held two separate meetings in Dhaka and discussed issues of mutual interest, including the thorny issue of Rohingya repatriation.
This was his second visit in less than four months and he had meetings with Dr Momen and Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen separately in Dhaka on Monday.
This time too the Chinese special envoy visited Myanmar before coming to Bangladesh.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has chosen to play it cool it seems, about the visit of the special envoy until his departure. No Foreign Ministry official, nor MoFA itself, shared anything during Xijun’s stay.
“Our priority is repatriation. I always remain optimistic that they will have better life upon their return to Myanmar,” Momen said.
After his meeting with the Chinese Special Envoy when he came earlier in April, Momen reiterated his hope that the Rohingyas will start returning to Myanmar acknowledging that he had a discussion on the issue with the Chinese side recently.
The foreign minister said many are working to help facilitate the Rohingya repatriation. “I should say they (China) have taken a very good initiative and they are working accordingly,” he added.
The minister said there were two attempts to begin repatriation of the Rohingyas in the past but both went in vain.
Momen said the Chinese side facilitates the discussion between Bangladesh and Myanmar and hoped that the Rohingyas will start returning to their homes.
