Bangladesh has given the green light for the 'Food Flotilla for Myanmar' humanitarian aid to visit the Myanmar Muslim refugee camp in Teknaf.

Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam said the country had given similar access to a number of foreign diplomats to the camp, including the United Nation's representatives in the recent past.

"So yes, we welcome any country to come and watch the difficulties and needs, it is very useful experience to see things for themselves," he told reporters when asked to clarify on the permission for the Malaysia-led humanitarian mission, in Kuala Lumpur, today.

He was met after the one-day extraordinary session of the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers on the Situation of the Rohingya Muslim Minority in Myanmar concluded, in Kuala Lumpur, today.

The mission, involving 200 activists from eight countries with 1,000 tonnes of food and medicines, received its permission earlier today from the Myanmar government to dock its vessel at Yangon.

Organised by 1Malaysia Putera Club and MAPIM with the cooperation of Turkish non-governmental organisation, Turkiye Diyanet Vakfi, the team also planned to manage the humanitarian mission in Teknaf, Bangladesh.

Shahriar however explained that the permission to access the camp had been regulated as some parties had been detected to have misused the leniency given.

"Rohingya is a very vulnerable community, very easy to influence them, so the last thing that we want is them being radicalised, that's the risk that we don't want to take.

"It will be a dangerous phenomenon for Bangladesh and the world, so we need to be mindful of that as well," he added.
