DHAKA (Bernama-UNB): Bangladesh has sought a more active role from China in resolving the Rohingya crisis, as Dhaka believes China has significant influence over Myanmar, United News of Bangladesh (UNB) reported on Tuesday.

"China has a lot of influence on Myanmar. Let’s accept this reality. We would look forward to a more active Chinese role ensuring that we can send them back,” said Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, adding that China has been cooperating with Bangladesh in this regard.
