International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan has expressed unwavering support for the values and leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He came up with vow while holding a meeting with Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands.
A foreign ministry's press release said on Thursday (1 August) that the prosecutor also praised Bangladesh's contributions and cooperation to upholding global justice and accountability within the international legal framework.
Bangladesh's Ambassador to the Netherlands, Muhammad Riaz Hamidullah, was present at the meeting.
During the meeting, the ICC Prosecutor said that he is impressed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's generosity and humanity towards the Rohingyas who have taken refuge in Bangladesh.
Hasan Mahmud hailed the ICC Prosecutor's stance and leadership on the situations in Gaza, Ukraine, and Rakhine State.
A permanent solution to the plight of the Rohingyas would be achieved when Myanmar grants them citizenship, allowing them to return home and move freely like other ethnicities in Myanmar, said Prosecutor Karim Khan.
He emphasised that the international community must do whatever is necessary to assist the Rohingyas.
The Foreign Minister apprised the Prosecutor of recent attacks on state institutions, property damage and vandalism in Bangladesh.
Hasan invited the ICC prosecutor to visit Bangladesh at a convenient time.
