Back after a few days in Bangladesh visiting the Rohingya Refugee Camps and meeting with the Prime Minister the Honourable Sheikh Hasina MP.
Bangladesh hosts nearly 1.2 million Rohingya refugees, an ethnic Muslim minority that fled Myanmar in 2017 to escape persecution and ethnic cleansing. They are some of the most desperate people in the world.
The UK is providing humanitarian support through the World Food Programme to supply food for 449,000 people living in the camps. This is how aid money should be spent 💙
Bangladesh and the UK are friends - they have a fast growing economy, we are partners within the Commonwealth, and we will work more closely together in the future. 🤝
