Visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo today laid emphasis on having a peaceful and quick solution to the Rohingya crisis against the backdrop of the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Myanmar.

The Indonesian president made the call during official bilateral talks with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her office.

Breifing reporters after the talks, Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque said the Indonesian President extended special appreciation to the government of Sheikh Hasina for sheltering over one million Rohingya people in Cox's Bazar.

He said Bangladesh wants political support in the international arena on the Rohingya issue and assured that Indonesia will continue its role to this end as Jakarta earlier had taken a stance in favour of the Rohingyas at the UN and its Human Rights Council.

He said the tour of Indonesian president to Bangladesh and his visit to Cox's Bazar today to see for himself the plight and sufferings of the Rohingyas is certainly a huge issue. "This will create a pressure on the Myanmar government," he said.
