Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu will visit Bangladesh on Sept. 6 amid the ongoing tragedy of tens of thousands Rohingya Muslims forced to flee violence in Myanmar.
Earlier, Çavuşoğlu spoke with his Bangladeshi counterpart Abul Hassan Mahmud Ali over the phone late Sept. 4 in a bid to find a solution to the ongoing tragedy of tens of thousands Rohingya Muslims who had to flee violence in Myanmar.
Çavuşoğlu’s talk with Minister Ali came as part of Turkey’s week-long efforts to find a safe haven for fleeing Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh with the Turkish government’s offer to provide financial assistance to the Bangladeshi government. The two ministers discussed recent developments with regard to the Rohingya Muslims, as around 100,000 of them have been crossing into the Bangladeshi border.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had launched a massive diplomatic campaign to draw attention on the continued violence on Rohingya Muslims. He held phone conversations with more than 20 world leaders so far including U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
