Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said the safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation of Rohingyas to Myanmar is the only lasting solution to the protracted refugee crisis, stressing the need for coordinated international efforts.

He made the remarks during a courtesy meeting with UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar Kelley E. Currie at his office at the Ministry of Home Affairs in Dhaka on Wednesday (November 11).

During the meeting, the minister said more than 1.5 million Rohingyas were currently living in Bangladesh, placing a significant economic burden on the country despite lower figures in official records.

The discussions covered Myanmar's political and human rights situation, Rohingya repatriation, border security and law and order in refugee camps.

The minister also called for a stronger international role following the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) scheduled November 19 verdict in the Rohingya genocide case against Myanmar.

Currie praised Bangladesh for providing humanitarian shelter to Rohingya refugees and said the UN and its partners were working to create conditions for their return with citizenship and fundamental rights.

The meeting also discussed strengthening law enforcement capabilities to combat drug and arms trafficking and cybercrime around the camps, with coordinated diplomatic pressure from China, India, the United States and the European Union.
