After assuming office, he said, the Bangladesh chief adviser placed the Rohingya issue at the United Nations General Assembly last year. Responding to the request of Prof Yunus, the UN adopted a resolution, he said, adding that a separate conference on the Rohingya issue would be held at the UN headquarters in New York in next September. Representatives of about 170 countries are expected to participate in the meeting, Alam said. He said in continuation of this, the Chief Adviser raised the Rohingya issue at the Earthna Summit in Doha today. The press secretary said during the recent BIMSTEC summit in Bangkok, Thailand, the High Representative on Rohingya Affairs Dr Khalilur Rahman held a fruitful meeting with the Myanmar authorities where Myanmar agreed to repatriate 180,000 Rohingya refugees. In the global context, Alam said, constant talks on the Rohingya crisis, initiated by the Chief Adviser, will help repatriate Rohingyas from Bangladesh to Myanmar.
