On the last day of his three-day visit to Bangladesh, which came after meetings in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, the pope went to a home in Dhaka founded by Mother Teresa for orphans, unwed mothers and destitute elderly. He also asked his young listeners to "not spend the whole day playing with your phone and ignoring the world around you!" He also sought their forgiveness in the name of all who persecuted them. The country does not recognise the stateless Rohingya as an ethnic group with its own identity and considers them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. "Dear friends in Myanmar and Bangladesh, thank you for your welcome!"
