President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called upon the United Kingdom and the broader international community to take more effective measures to ensure the safe, voluntary, and dignified repatriation of forcibly displaced Rohingya refugees residing in Bangladesh, as well as the protection of vulnerable women and children.
The call was made on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, when Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, the Duchess of Edinburgh and a member of the British Royal Family, paid a courtesy call on the President at Bangabhavan during her official visit to Bangladesh.

He emphasized that the prolonged crisis places severe socio-economic and environmental strain on densely populated Bangladesh while raising regional security concerns. In response, the Duchess commended Bangladesh’s remarkable strides in women's empowerment and economic participation, while both sides reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation in trade, education, and sports.
