ICRC President appreciate humanitarian role of Bangladesh

Mr. Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) called on Foreign Minister Dr. A. K. Abdul Momen in the afternoon of 23 September. 

Foreign Minister suggested that ICRC should work more actively in Rakhine State with the Myanmar authorities for creation of conducive environment so that the Rohingyas can go back to their homeland with dignity, in a sustainable manner.

Mr. Maurer expressed gratefulness from ICRC to Bangladesh, particularly to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her humanitarian gesture in providing shelter to the Rohingyas when they entered into Bangladesh after being persecuted in the homeland by their own state machinery.
