Diplomatic Efforts to Ensure Rohingyas' Dignified Return: Alam
Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam announced today that the interim government is fully engaged in diplomatic efforts to secure the safe and dignified return of the forcibly displaced Rohingyas to their homes in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
"Establishing lasting peace and stability in Rakhine is essential for the safe, voluntary, and dignified return of the Rohingyas. We are actively pursuing all necessary diplomatic channels to achieve this goal," Alam said during a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka.
He emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring the voluntary return of the Rohingyas, while also promoting peaceful coexistence between the Rohingya people and local communities in Myanmar.
Addressing a question about reforms in the Election Commission (EC), Alam explained that once the government finalizes an agreement with political parties, the EC will move forward with implementing the reform proposals that are collectively agreed upon.
In response to another query, Alam confirmed that proposals from the six reform commissions have been sent to all political parties for review and are currently under scrutiny.
In related news, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres is set to arrive in Dhaka tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 PM for a four-day visit to Bangladesh. During his visit, Guterres will join Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus for an Iftar gathering with around one lakh Rohingyas in Cox's Bazar on Friday.
