The Bangladesh prime minister spoke on behalf of the Asia Group at the 14th Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Makkah Al Mukarramah Summit on Friday. Bangladesh has given shelter to more than 1.1 million forcibly displaced Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar despite resource constraints, said Hasina. Hasina sought the OIC support to launch the Rohingya case in the International Court of Justice to ensure their legal rights. To fight the escalating terrorism and violence, the prime minister proposed a four-point formula for the Muslim world that was pronounced in the Riyadh conference. Hasina also sought the support of member countries for the candidature of Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque for the post of deputy director general of the International Organisation for Migration.
