Chinese Ambassador H.E. Mr. Yao Wen attended a seminar on “The Rohingya Crisis: Contemporary
Security Dimensions and Future of Repatriation Process” recently organized by the leading think tank
Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies.
Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen attended as the chief guest. The Director General of Myanmar
Wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh and representatives of the academic community
also participated in the seminar.
The seminar focused on the causes, evolution and current situation of the Rohingya Crisis, and
concluded that repatriation is the only way out to solve the Rohingya Crisis. Mr. Masud highly valued
the significant role played by China, as an important neighbor of Bangladesh and Myanmar and a
responsible major power, in mediating the repatriation. He also called on the international
community to further intensify its assistance and to work together to facilitate the early realization of
repatriation.
Ambassador Yao indicated that Bangladesh and Myanmar are both friendly and close neighbors of
China, and that China has long been actively mediating and urging the two sides to reach a number of
important consensus on the start of the repatriation. The early start of repatriation is of great
significance to the improvement of Bangladesh-Myanmar relations and the maintenance of regional
peace and stability. China supports the two sides in continuing to work together, overcome
difficulties, remove interference and realize repatriation as soon as possible.
