NAM FMs call for creating condition for sustainable Rohingya repatriation

Foreign Ministers of NAM member states have urgently called for creating necessary condition for the voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return of the Rohingyas as well as for early and full implementation of arrangement between Bangladesh and Myanmar over the repatriation issue.

This was stated at the documents for the next NAM Summit to be held in Uganda from 19-20 January 2024, a foreign ministry press release said here.

In the Summit document, in many paragraphs, the NAM Foreign Ministers commended Bangladesh’s efforts and contribution to different issues such as culture of peace, SDGs, peacekeeping, peace building, climate change, health and environmental issues.

The “summit document” has been finalized today at the NAM Senior Officials Meeting held in Baku, Azerbaijan. The document will be adopted in the NAM Ministerial on July 05-06.

This Senior Officials Meeting and Ministerial are the preparatory meeting of the next NAM Summit and the “Summit document” will be finally adopted in that Summit.

Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen led the Bangladesh’s delegation at the meeting.

“The languages proposed by Bangladesh in the NAM Summit document reflect our long-standing commitment to multilateralism as well as foreign policy dictum of our father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman- Friendship to all Malice toward none which is reflective of the core principles of NAM,” said Momen while speaking during the negotiation for finalization of NAM Summit document.
