Dhaka to brief diplomats today

Bangladesh will brief diplomats stationed in Dhaka about the latest situation on the Rohingya issue today, as two consecutive efforts to begin the repatriation of the displaced people failed amid their unwillingness and distrust in the Myanmar government.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen will brief the diplomats and representatives of the UN agencies at 4pm at State guesthouse Padma in the city, said an official.

UN Resident Coordinator in Dhaka Mia Seppo on Tuesday said Bangladesh has “certainly done its part” when it comes to the Rohingya crisis, and now it is up to the world to make sure Bangladesh does not shoulder this burden alone.
