Members of the UN Security Council delegation in Dhaka on Monday assured all concerned of helping Bangladesh and Myanmar to expedite the implementation of the Rohingya reparation agreement signed between the two countries.

 The delegation members said the Rohingya issue will remain their priority and they will explore ways and means to act in this regard once they return to New York.

Responding to a question, the delegation members said they do not see any resistance from any party and all the UNSC members are with Bangladesh.

The delegation left for Myanmar capital shortly after the briefing.
