Debated in Parliament on 13 Jul 2015.
Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs (a) what is the Government's foreign policy on the Rohingya situation in Myanmar which is causing a refugee crisis in Southeast Asia; and (b) whether the Government has raised any concerns on the situation with senior members of the Myanmar Government and Opposition and, if so, what are their responses.
The Government's foreign policy on the Rohingya situation in Myanmar will be elaborated on in our oral reply to related questions raised by Mr Christopher de Souza.
We have raised our views on the communal tensions in Myanmar with the Myanmars. As these discussions have taken place within the framework of diplomatic communications, it would not be appropriate to disclose the details.
