The United Kingdom wants the new government in Myanmar to take steps towards safe, voluntary and dignified return of the Rohingya to their place of origin in Rakhine State addressing the root causes of conflicts.

State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam has suggested that the UK may take the initiative of creating a COVID-19 fund which can be used to bail out the UK brands/retailers so that they can continue with their imports from Bangladesh.
