He made this call during the videoconference with UK DFID Secretary of State Anne-Marie Trevelyan. Dr Momen expressed his sympathy for the severity of Covid-19 in the UK, and briefed Trevelyan on the steps taken by Bangladesh to contain the deadly virus, reports UNB. He briefed Secretary of State for DFID about the economic and social impact of coronavirus in Bangladesh, including the challenge of job loss by a significant number of Bangladeshi migrant workers abroad, particularly in the Middle East. Dr Momen requested the support of the UK in overcoming this difficulty. Foreign Minister Momen flagged that Myanmar has not done anything to date for the repatriation of Rohingyas. He insisted that until the international community exerts more pressure on Myanmar, including by putting trade and investment moratorium, the Rohingya crisis will not be resolved. The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has adopted a resolution calling upon Myanmar to create conditions and to establish a plan conducive to the voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return of Rohingyas and all refugees and forcibly displaced persons. The resolution on the situation of human rights in Myanmar also stressed the need to effectively address the root causes of human rights violations and abuses against ethnic minorities, including the Rohingyas, in the Rakhine State. In its 43rd session, the 47-member UNHRC adopted the resolution on Monday in Geneva by a vote of 37 in favor, 2 against and 8 abstentions.
