Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the world leaders to ensure repatriation of Rohingya people to their homeland Mayanmar soon to escape security risks in the region and beyond worldwide.

The premier made the call while addressing the Fourth Edition of the Paris Peace Forum, 2021 “Minding the Gap: Improving Global Governance after COVID-19” in Paris on Thursday afternoon.

In 1997, Sheik Hasina said, Bangladesh ended an armed conflict in its Chittagong Hill Tracts through a historic Peace Accord. “We vowed a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to all forms of terrorism. We keep investing at the community level to contain their spread,” she added.

For many years now, she continued, Bangladesh ranks top among the troop and police contributing countries to UN peacekeeping operations, and hold on to its faith in the Middle East Peace Process in support of the Palestinian cause.

French President Emmanuel Macron convened the Forum while Forum president Pascal Lamy chaired the event.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and US Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke.
