A delegation of British lawmakers and representatives of the UK Parliament's All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Rohingya has pledged to strengthen international support for justice for the Rohingya, as Bangladesh called for sustained diplomatic efforts to resolve the protracted refugee crisis and ensure the community's dignified return to Myanmar.

The commitment came during a meeting with Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed at the Bangladesh Secretariat in Dhaka on Wednesday, where the two sides discussed the repatriation of forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals and ongoing legal proceedings concerning the Rohingya at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

"The crisis could only be resolved by ensuring that Rohingyas return to Myanmar with citizenship rights, dignity and security," Salahuddin said.

He stressed the need for continued diplomatic initiatives and called on the international community to play a stronger role in creating conditions for the safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation of Rohingyas.

British MP Imran Hussain led the delegation, according to a press release from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Other members included Hassan Uzzaman Khan, Councillor Mohammad Tahmid Marzouq Morshed, a parliamentary researcher, and Altaf Hussain, head of fundraising at Orphans In Need.

Members of the delegation reaffirmed their commitment to advocating justice for the Rohingya and mobilising greater international support for the community.

Relevant officials of the Home Ministry were also present at the meeting.
