Bangladesh fears the Rohingya crisis can frustrate the hope for regional peace and stability if it is not solved at the earliest.

"Our fear is that, if this problem is not solved quickly, it may lead to pockets of radicalism, and since terrorists have no borders and faith, there's high possibility of creation of uncertainty in the region which may frustrate our hope for a peaceful, secure and stable region," Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said yesterday at the 27th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) held online.

He said Bangladesh sheltered some 1.1 million Rohingyas despite the threat to the country's economy and ecology, on humanitarian grounds and it was keen to solve the crisis through constructive diplomacy with good neighbourly spirit.
