Bangladesh urges OIC to mobilise intl support for Rohingya repatriation

Bangladesh today called upon the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to mobilise international support for sustainable repatriation of the forcibly displaced Rohingyas to their homeland in Myanmar. Prime Minister Principal Secretary Md Tofazzel Hossain Miah made the call when the visiting OIC delegation led by its Assistant Secretary General for Humanitarian, Social and Cultural Affairs Ambassador Tarig Ali Bakheet paid a courtesy call on him at the PMO here. "To keep alive the Rohingya issue in the international forum," he urged the OIC. Tofazzel, who presided over the meeting at the PMO for about 45 minutes from 2:30 pm today, has sought financial and other required assistance to relocate the Rohingyas to the Bhashan Char, PMO sources said.
