The UN will convene a high-level conference in New York on Tuesday to explore ways out of the crisis affecting Myanmar’s forcibly displaced Rohingya Muslims and other ethnic minorities. The objectives of the UN-organised conference are to mobilise political support, sustain international attention on the crisis, review the overall situation, and address its root causes, including human rights issues. It will also review the crisis and exchange perspectives on the ground situation in order to propose a comprehensive, innovative, concrete, and time-bound plan for a sustainable resolution. Key priorities include ensuring the voluntary, safe, and dignified return of Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar. Afterwards, Yunus's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said in a briefing that the overall Rohingya and civil war situation in Myanmar's Rakhine state, along with the pathway of Rohingya repatriation, increase of funding for Rohingyas living in camps, skill building and education of Rohingya children were discussed.
