Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming on Sunday said Myanmar’s claim that repatriation of Rohingya refugees cannot be started due to non-cooperation of Bangladesh ‘is not true.
Rather, he said, Bangladesh government is keen and sincere for repatriation of Rohingyas.
The Chinese ambassador made the comment in reply to a query during the question and answer session of a seminar styled ‘Finding Way to Peaceful Repatriation of Rohingyas’ organised by English daily Bangladesh Post at the National Press Club in the capital on Sunday.
Mentionable, on November 15 last, a spokesperson for Myanmar’s state council office claimed that repatriation cannot be started due to the non-cooperation of Bangladesh.
He said China appreciates Bangladesh’s generosity to shelter the displaced people, and will support all concerned parties to handle the issue properly through friendly negotiation.
“China will not favour one side over the other. China is trying to persuade Myanmar all the time that the eventual solution to the Rohingya issue will be beneficial to both countries,” he added.
