Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that she would visit China by July to talk about repatriation of Rohingya refugees who fled from Myanmar’s Rakhine state in the face of ethnic cleansing.

“I hope to be more successful in dealing with the Rohingya issue with China,” the PM said while addressing a press conference.




“The Chinese president has invited me to visit his country in July and I will go there and talk to him about the issue,” she added.
She revealed the information at a media briefing on her tri-nation tour of Japan, Saudi Arabia and Finland at Ganabhaban on Sunday (Jun 9).
Hasina, also president of the ruling Awami League, said, “Myanmar is the main problem as they don’t want to take back the Rohingya people to their country.”
Responding to a query, she said the issues of terrorism and Rohingyas were discussed during the 14th Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Summit and all have put their heed to reach immediate solution to the crises.
She said, “We have talked with India, China and Japan about the issue and they equivocally said Myanmar should take back the Rohingya people.”
It will be her first visit to China after forming government for a third consecutive term.
