Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman has stated that Rohingya repatriation cannot begin now due to ongoing conflict in Myanmar. Speaking in parliament on March 30, 2026, he said the government remains committed to ensuring safe, voluntary, and dignified repatriation of Rohingya refugees. Bangladesh continues diplomatic, legal, and humanitarian efforts to resolve the crisis with international cooperation.

Responding to questions from lawmakers, the minister said Bangladesh has sent data on 829,036 Rohingya to Myanmar in six phases. Of these, Myanmar has verified information for 354,751 individuals as of January 2026 and identified 253,964 as former residents of Myanmar. He also noted that Bangladesh supports international judicial processes to ensure accountability for crimes against the Rohingya.

Bangladesh has decided to provide financial assistance in the ongoing case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, where Gambia has filed a case against Myanmar over alleged genocide. The government is closely monitoring the proceedings and supporting global efforts to uphold justice.
