Climate change and migration, particularly the Rohingya, were hot topics during the meeting. “The enormous number of forcibly displaced Rohingyas is a significant burden for Bangladesh and their number is increasing everyday with the birth of new babies,” the prime minister added. The chief of the EU mission, YIva Johansson, stated that her union would continue to support Bangladesh in regards to the Rohingya issue. She stated that 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees are now being hosted by the EU.
At the discussion, it was also discussed the perilous Mediterranean Sea migration of Bangladeshis. According to the prime minister, Bangladesh is making every effort to halt immigration. While claiming that lawful immigration could result in a win-win scenario and secure mutual gain.
The EU team was curious in Bangladesh’s response to the effects of climate change. Sheikh Hasina responded by saying that because Bangladesh has implemented a number of adaptation and mitigation programs with its own funding, the country is capable of managing any type of calamity.
The prime minister expressed her dissatisfaction, claiming that the wealthy nations—who are to blame for global warming—do not provide the promised financial assistance to the nations most vulnerable to climate change. She claimed that wealthy nations “don’t honor their pledges.”
