The chairman of Japan’s Nippon Foundation says the charity will spend $2 million to help move tens of thousands more Rohingya refugees to a remote island in Bangladesh and provide them with skills training.

Japanese philanthropic group Nippon Foundation’s Chairman Sasakawa Yohei, carries a lamb during a visit to Bhasan Char island in the Bay of Bengal, where thousands of Rohingya refugees are living in Bangladesh , Saturday, April 6, 2024. Japan’s Nippon Foundation will spend $2 million to help move tens of thousands more Rohingya refugees to a remote island in Bangladesh and provide them with skills training, Sasakawa said.

“I was … quite impressed about how much support was given … in Bhasan Char island,” Sasakawa said. “And that support was being provided from the Bangladesh government, although the government itself is experiencing a very difficult fiscal state.” Sasakawa, who visited Myanmar more than 150 times in recent years, said that the ultimate solution to the Rohingya crisis is their repatriation, but Myanmar’s return to democracy is also important.
