Foreign Secretary Md. Jashim Uddin has sought support from the international community including the French government for realizing a sustainable resolutions of the Rohingya issue focusing on the root causes of the crisis, reports BSS.

He sought the support when French Special Envoy to Burma (Myanmar) Christian Lechervy met him on Tuesday afternoon at the foreign ministry, said a press release.

During the meeting, the Foreign Secretary stressed the urgency of an early resolution to the Rohingya crisis expressing Bangladesh’s frustration over the lack of any progress in repatriating the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMNs) to their homeland.

He also expressed deep concern at the ongoing armed conflicts in Myanmar, particularly in the Rakhine State, which risks triggering further displacement of Myanmar nationals into Bangladesh, with fresh arrivals in recent months.

Highlighting huge burden on the host communities, he raised concerns over the dwindling humanitarian support from international partners and donors, which threatens to exacerbate the challenges faced by both the Rohingya and the local populations.

The foreign secretary also noted to the recent call from Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus to the UN Secretary-General to organize an International Conference on the Rohingya crisis.

Ambassador Lechervy expressed France's appreciation for Bangladesh's ongoing humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya people and reaffirmed France’s commitment to supporting Bangladesh on the issue.

He stressed the importance of addressing the escalating conflicts across the border, particularly in Rakhine State, and advocated for political dialogues in Myanmar and the inclusion of Rohingya issue in such dialogues.

He also underscored the necessity to know the specificity of the fresh arrivals to assess their needs and status.
