FM calls on global support for safe return of Rohingyas
Foreign Minister Dr. A. K. Abdul Momen on Sunday requested the international community to meaningfully invest in the Rohingya refugees’ voluntary repatriation to Myanmar by helping create a host conducive to their safe and dignified go back.
“It is much more than humanitarian assistance that the Rohingya have to reclaim their legitimate rights while associates of the Myanmar culture and actualize their potentials,” the Foreign Minister said.
The Minister was addressing Mujib Barsha Lecture Program on “Bangabandhu’s Idea of Sonar Bangla, Swedish Model of Welfare Point out and Tackling the Global Problems of Tomorrow” at the Foreign Assistance Academy as the principle Guest.
It really is in light of many of Bangabandhu’s near-prophetic pronouncements that Bangladesh continue steadily to build relationships the world in addressing the emerging global problems he said, according to a good press release.
“The immediate, pressing concerns over pandemics, rising inequality, climate change, violent extremism and terrorism, and digital divide and cybercrimes can only just be effectively tackled if all nations, big or small, invest in pull our collective resources and expertise for the normal reason behind humanity,” FM stated.
Bangladesh is doing its component by traditionally speaking out for upholding the interest of LDCs, by adding to international peace by deploying her people in distant elements of the environment, and by marshalling the voices of the weather vulnerable countries towards enhanced weather ambitions, he added.
On the humanitarian front, Bangladesh has taken on the responsibility and responsibility to provide protection and temporary shelter to Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya, with an increase of than 1.1 million of these now on our territory, Momen said.
“It is a lot more than humanitarian assistance that the Rohingya need to reclaim their legitimate rights seeing as users of the Myanmar contemporary society and actualize their potentials,” FM said.
The FM invoked Bangabandhu who had encouraged to believe that, “as a individual, what concerns humankind concerns me.” This same conviction motivated the Primary Minister to respond positively to the Swedish Primary Minister’s invitation to become listed on the “Leaders’ Network” to deliberate on making the UN and multilateralism fit-for-purpose in the 21st hundred years, the minister said.
“We believe Bangladesh and Sweden own a good common interest in working together to advance individual rights, sound individual mobility and individual connectivity. We underscore our interest in additional diversifying our traditional production cooperation through improved trade, investment and know-how partnership,” he added.
“We should commence focusing on at least one pilot initiative to jointly perform research on technological or perhaps environmental solutions that can be good for our peoples at the grassroots,” FM said.
He also thanked Per Olsson Fridh, Minister for International Advancement Cooperation of Sweden, for his well informed and thought-out keynote display.
“We appreciate his set responsiveness to make this display during his maiden overseas go to mainly because Minister. The Swedish welfare program has in fact been a subject of lively debate and reflection in the overseas political and economic discourses for quite some time,” Foreign Minister said.
“The sense of idealism surrounding the system is reinforced by Sweden’s top rankings in most global welfare indexes, including in the UN People Development Report. Despite its detractors, the Welfare Talk about System has up to now became sustainable deriving durability from a portfolio of insurance policy alternatives that the Swedish Minister just simply recounted,” he added.
“Our interest in delving deeper into this technique at this stage is not purely coincidental. This specific month of March marks a confluence of three major events in our nationwide context: The high stage of the birth centenary special event of our Dad of the country Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the golden jubilee of our independence and the conclusive decision by the UN for Bangladesh’s eventual graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) position,” he said.
