Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Monday urged China to continue to persuade the Myanmar authorities to take back Rohingyas from his country.

“China has good relations with Myanmar and if China continues to persuade Myanmar, it would be possible to solve the Rohingya crisis peacefully and in a sustainable manner,” Kamal told news agency BSS quoting Chinese Ambassador Zhang Zuo, who made a courtesy call on him at his ministry office here.

The minister said the forcibly displaced Rohingyas must go back to their homeland from Bangladesh.

The Chinese envoy reassured the minister that his country would continue to extend cooperation for quick repatriation of Rohingyas to the place of their origin in Myanmar, Kamal said.

He expected that the Rohingya crisis will be resolved in a sustainable manner.

“I also told the Chinese envoy that your country can play a vital role in raising the Rohingya issue before the international community aimed at putting pressure on Myanmar for quick repatriation of Rohingyas,” he said.
