Dhaka Bureau: Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen said there are no more Rohingyas on the zero line of the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. There were some Rohingya at the zero line for many years. They were involved with drug dealers. Some Rohingyas have entered our country because of the war between the two sides in Rakhine. There are no more Rohingyas at the Zero Line.
He said this after a book release ceremony at the Foreign Service Academy auditorium in the capital on Tuesday (January 31).
He said Bangladesh will not accept any new Rohingya. As Arsa and RSO burned down the camps at the Zero Line in their own conflict, there were no Rohingyas left. It went well in one respect.
The foreign minister said, “We did not let all the people enter.” But we are giving numbers (registrations) to those who have entered. Many of them have UNHCR cards. We cannot send them away.
He also said that efforts are being made to increase relations with Latin American and Eastern European countries.
