"India is working with Bangladesh-Myanmar to return Rohingyas"

India is also working with Dhaka and Naypyidaw authorities to quickly repatriate the Rohingyas to their home country of Myanmar. For this reason, the country is trying to create an environment for the safe repatriation of Rohingyas in Rakhine.

India's outgoing ambassador to Dhaka, Vikram Kumar Dworaiswamy, said this in an exchange of views with journalists in the capital's Gulshan on Wednesday (September 14) evening.

Dworaiswamy said, 'We think that diplomacy plays the most effective role in any crisis. That is why we are working with the Myanmar authorities and on behalf of our friend Bangladesh to effectively address this challenge.

He said, 'People who have taken refuge in Bangladesh from Myanmar should be repatriated to their homeland quickly. In this regard, India has unwavering support to Bangladesh. However, repatriation should be in a permanent and safe environment. We are also working on that side (Myanmar). May these people get an environment to go back there safely.'

During the Bangladesh Prime Minister's visit to India, the meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was fruitful, he highlighted several issues of the visit.

High Commissioner Doraiswamy came to Dhaka in early October 2020. He is returning to New Delhi after serving in Dhaka for almost two years. According to Indian media reports, Vikram Doraiswamy is going to become India's ambassador to the UK after completing his duties in Dhaka. And Prannoy Kumar Verma is coming as High Commissioner to Bangladesh in his place. He was previously India's ambassador to Vietnam.
