Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen thinks these problems have serious security implications for the entire region. Dr Momen sought support for a "speedy, safe and dignified" repatriation of the forcibly displaced people back to their place of origin in Myanmar. Dr Momen requested Vietnam to exert their friendly influence on Myanmar to take their citizens back on an expeditious basis. Expressing his satisfaction at the excellent bilateral relations between the two countries, foreign minister Dr Momen hoped that the two countries would celebrate the 50th year of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year with fervor and in a befitting manner. Dr Momen sought Vietnam's support in favour of Bangladesh's candidacy as a Sectoral Dialogue Partner of the Asean.
