Singapore can play a significant role for quick repatriation of Rohingyas," she said when Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat paid a courtesy call on her in New Delhi on Friday. The premier reminded Heng Swee Keat that they put up the Rohingya issue before the world while her country was chair of the Asean. The Singaporean deputy prime minister praised the massive socio-economic development of Bangladesh under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
