In Myanmar, our Muslim brothers face very cruel treatment, they are forced to leave their homes. We must make efforts to prevent this unjust attitude towards them. Together with the governments of Myanmar and Bangladesh, we want to work to prevent this human drama. Those Muslims who seek refuge in Bangladesh also need help. We informed the Bangladesh authorities that we want to help in this regard,
