Rohingya diplomacy (IE Ed)
Context
As per the author India should learn from the way China has handled the Rohingya issue
Stage Chinese plan
China recently issued a statement stating that both Myanmar & Bangladesh are its friends and Beijing is willing to play a constructive role to sort out the Rakhine state issue. It further outlined a 3-stage plan,
- Ceasefire: A ceasefire on the ground
- Bilateral talks b/w Myanmar & Bangladesh: Once this is seen as working and people are no longer fleeing, talks between Myanmar and Bangladesh to work out the modalities of return of the Rohingya from their camps in Bangladesh to their homes in Rakhine
- Long-term solution: Poverty alleviation
Actual Motive
- China wants to portray itself in a positive light by showing that its interests in the region are beyond that of economic and strategic plane.
