International Missions heads declare continued support for Rohingyas

Since the outbreak of violence in Myanmar in 2017, the international community has cooperated to assist in the crisis

A delegation, including the Australian High Commissioner and Ambassadors of Japan and the United States, met with Bangladeshi government officials and international agencies assisting host communities and Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar to reiterate their unwavering support for Bangladesh's refugee response.

During the 3-4-March visit, the delegation also visited a disaster preparedness project, food programmes, a learning centre, a health facility, and spoke with community health volunteers about their role in the Covid-19 response in the Rohingya refugee camps and host communities.

The latest visit marks a year since the first cases of coronavirus were reported in Bangladesh and the first since the October 2020 Rohingya donor conference, which raised nearly $600 million in additional relief funds for Rohingya refugees and host communities.

The leaders of the international missions remarked separately on the strong collaboration between international partners and the strength of their ongoing commitment to resolving the crisis.

Australian High Commissioner Bruer said, "We would like to reiterate our strong support for Bangladesh hosting displaced Rohingya. Last year, Covid-19 created many new challenges, including here in Cox's Bazar. With case numbers steadying and with the vaccine in sight, it is as important as ever, for us to work together with the Bangladesh authorities to ensure humanitarian partners can deliver the much-needed assistance to both Rohingya and host communities."

Japanese Ambassador Ito said, "We had this joint mission with an intention to further promote our support for the Government of Bangladesh and to strengthen cooperation with international organisations and NGOs. Japan will work towards early repatriation of the displaced people, while continuing humanitarian assistance in Cox's Bazar, as finding lasting solutions to this crisis is conducive to our pursuit of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific. We strongly hope that, as the coronavirus situation has been improving, comprehensive service delivery including education will restart soon."
