The Foreign Ministers and representatives of
the NAM member states have joined the two-day long preparatory meeting,
starting from today to make the 18th NAM summit successful.
At the ministerial meeting, Momen expressed
dissatisfaction on Myanmar’s role in the process of solving the Rohingya
crisis.
Despite giving commitments to ensure conducive
environment in Northern Rakhine State and to take back the Rohingyas, Myanmar
has not taken back any of the Rohingyas till date, he said.
Bangladesh is hosting over 1.1 million
forcefully displaced Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar district and most of them arrived
there since August 25, 2017 after a military crackdown by Myanmar, which the UN
called a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” and “genocide” by other rights
groups.
Momen urged the international community,
particularly the ASEAN neighbors of Myanmar to remain engaged with Myanmar to
reach a solution of this crisis.
However, the foreign minister expressed hope
to solve the crisis through dialogue and discussions.
Stated that Bangladesh has been a strong
believer in the goals of the NAM Movement, momen said “Recognizing the
importance of NAM, our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
decided to join the Movement in 1973 in its Algiers’ Summit”.
Terming Bangladesh’s development trajectory
as a miracle, the foreign minister highlighted Bangladesh’s economic
development under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He also focused on the significance of
South-South Cooperation for achieving SDGs as well as mentioned Bangladesh
leading role in the UN’s peacekeeping missions.
On the side lines of the Preparatory
Ministerial Meeting, the participated in an event titled “Promoting Peace and
Sustainable Development through South-South and Triangular Cooperation”,
organized by Azerbaijan, Islamic Development Bank and South Centre.
