Swiss president says Rohingya return must be voluntary

Swiss President Alain Berset says the return of Rohingya Muslims who have fled violence in Myanmar must be voluntary.

Berset, who is on a four-day visit to Bangladesh, said after meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday that the situation of



Rohingya in Bangladesh refugee camps is of great concern.

Berset pledged to provide an additional 12 million francs ( 12.9 million) for Rohingya this year.

He is expected to visit Rohingya refugee camps tomorrow.
