US will continue pressuring Myanmar to resolve Rohingya crisis: Ambassador

Visiting the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar, she on Tuesday said, “The issue can only be resolved in Myanmar, can only be resolved through understanding that the community has a home and has an origin, has a reason to be in Myanmar.”

She said they had been pressuring the Myanmar government at the most senior levels. “And we will continue to put the pressure on.”

Her comment came at a time when the members of Myanmar government-constituted committee investigating violence in Rakhine State are visiting Bangladesh.

Chair of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission U Win Mra, former Lebanese culture minister and UN Special Adviser to Secretary-General, Ghassan Salame, and Core Member and Founder of Religious for Peace in Myanmar U Aye Lwin arrived in Dhaka on Saturday.

The delegation visited the camps in Cox's Bazaar on Sunday and on Tuesday met Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and took part at a closed-door discussion at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) in Dhaka.
