Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: This is a historic conference, the first in eight years since the Myanmar genocide of Rohingya survivors sought refuge in Bangladesh. Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC) expresses its gratitude to the Government of Bangladesh for hosting the conference and reaffirms its commitment to continue advocating for the rights and dignity of the Rohingya people. We also extend our thanks to our brothers and sisters in the camps for their courage and resilience. We remain hopeful that very soon we will walk together on the road back to Arakan.

A delegation of eight members from the Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC), out of the thirteen invited, successfully participated in and contributed to the Stakeholders’ Dialogue: Takeaway to the High-Level Conference on the Rohingya Situation held in Cox’s Bazar from 24–26 August. The conference, attended by representatives from various countries, provided a critical platform to discuss pressing issues concerning the Rohingya community.

Throughout the sessions, ARNC delegates actively raised a broad range of questions and concerns vital to the justice, rights, protection, dignified return and future of the Rohingya people. On the second day of the conference, ARNC Chairperson Tun Khin and Co-Chair Nay San Lwin took part in key panel discussions and delivered impactful speeches, highlighting urgent humanitarian needs as well as long-term solutions for justice, accountability and protection with international oversight. Contributions of the ARNC members were well-received by the audience and added significant value to the proceedings.

In addition to their formal participation, ARNC members held cordial discussions and constructive interactions with Bangladeshi officials, foreign dignitaries, and our Rohingya brothers and sisters from the camps. On August 26, 2025, during the visit to the camps organised by the government of Bangladesh, the delegation listened closely to the concerns and aspirations of the community, reaffirming ARNC’s commitment to amplifying their voices on the international stage.
