Bangladesh government’s measures in tackling the ongoing Rohingya crisis have brightened the country’s image around the world, says State Minister for Finance and Planning MA Mannan. South-South Cooperation is a broad framework for collaboration among developing countries based on the concept of solidarity that breaks the traditional dichotomy between donors and recipients. The state minister told reporters the countries that participated in two South-South Cooperation events last month appreciated Bangladesh’s efforts in helping and sheltering the Rohingya refugees. Refugees have said scores of Rohingya villages were burnt to the ground, people were killed and women were raped. The military, however, have denied accusations of ethnic cleansing by the US and the UN.
