State of the Countries

Afghanistan: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan condemns in the strongest terms the devastating cruelty and murder of innocent Rohingya Muslims by Myanmar’s security forces. While vehemently condemning these vicious and inhuman attacks by the government forces against its Muslim population, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on the United Nations and other International Human Rights Organizations to examine the genocide and massacre of the innocent Muslim community in this country" was the words of Afghan Foreign Ministry.

Australia: In early 2017, Jolie Bishop announced their concern about the Rohingya Crisis and would provide up to $5 million in order to help the refugees. By the end of September 2017, they were supported with over $70 million with the help of the Australian Government. In addition, they had opened their gates to a refugee camp in Papua New Guinea.

Bangladesh: From 25 August 2017 to 11 January 2018, the Bengali government has received more than 971,627 refugees. The situation led the Bengali Parliament to bring up the Rohingya issue. Thereby, the Bengali government adopted a unanimous resolution encouraging the international community to be aware of the situation. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, "The Myanmar government should have handled this situation patiently and not allowed the army to attack the common people. What are the crimes of women, children, and the innocent people? They are not responsible".

Canada: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed the situation during a telephone call to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and the Canadian government pledged CA$1 million for relief support of Rohingya refugees.

China: In history, China and Myanmar have been in a close relationship due to having common geopolitical and economic interests. Myanmar is an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Project of China. Therefore, China sees the cooperation for its access to the Indian Ocean. Apart from these, their policy of internal affairs is clearly the same, which led the government of China to be on Myanmar’s side. However, China has advocated for a diplomatic solution to the Rohingya crisis and has been involved in diplomatic efforts alongside other neighboring countries. Nowadays, the Chinese Government has become impartial.

Myanmar: They have been denying that its forces committed atrocities, Myanmar has blamed "terrorists" for all violence (including the burning of villages). According to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, there was misinformation about the situation.
