Momen tells Myanmar to keep its promise of taking Rohingya back

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has said Myanmar "should keep their promise" for the repatriation of the Rohingya to their place of origin in Rakhine State.

"We are ready to send them back. Myanmar should keep their promise and do their part of the job," Momen told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

Despite assurances from the Myanmar side, not a single person has been taken back over the last five years, said the foreign minister.

Bangladesh is hosting over 1.1 million Rohingya in Cox's Bazar and Bhasan Char, reports UNB.

Momen also criticised the countries which are doing business as usual with Myanmar though they talk about human rights issues.
