Wang Yi: Cleansing Campaign and Neighbouring Bangladesh

wang yi: We will contribute our efforts to help with offering more humanitarian aids in line with Bangladesh's needs, Wang said, according to The Chronicle Herald. Ali said the two had had detailed discussions about the status of the refugees and that he sought China's support for the early reparation of these displaced people back to their homeland in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Wang Yi also told reporters that China hoped repatriation of refugees could begin as early as possible, following a meeting with his Bangladeshi counterpart Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali in Beijing. About 700,000 Rohingya have fled into neighbouring Bangladesh since last August to escape what United Nations and U.S. officials have called an ethnic cleansing campaign by Myanmar's government. The U.N. refugee agency has signed a preliminary agreement for the return of the refugees with Bangladesh and Myanmar provided the conditions for a safe and orderly repatriation are fulfilled something aid workers say still has not happened on the ground in Myanmar. Ali gave the number of refugees at 1.1 million. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
