WASHINGTON – Foreign Minister Rex Tillerson condemns the savagery committed against the Muslims of Rohingya in Myanmar, and says that the responsible – perhaps the country’s army – will be held responsible.
Tillerson says that Rohingya’s pain is “heartbreaking ve and if these reports are true,“ someone will be held to take into account ”.
Tillerson, who is ready to visit South Asia next week, calls the Myanmar government to improve human access to the population in the Western Rakhine province.
International Amnesty International accused Myanmar’s security forces of killing hundreds of men, women and children during a systematic campaign to expel Rohingya. Since the end of August, more than 580,000 refugees fled to neighboring Bangladesh.
Uz We keep military leadership responsible for those who are really responsible for what happened, Tak Tillerson said at the Washington Center for Strategic and International Research Center. “The most important thing for us is that the world cannot stand idle and witness the atrocities reported in that region.”
He also called on Wednesday to expand the strategic ties of the US and India. He carefully criticized China, which he accused of challenging international norms for global stability.
He said the world needs the US and India to have a strong partnership. The two countries share their goals in security, free navigation, free trade and terrorism in Indo-Pacific, and serve as “East and Western signs for an increasingly forced form of international rules.
Both India and China had benefited from this order, but Tillerson said that India did this while respecting the rules and norms, and China weakened them. In order to attract attention, China’s island building and Beijing pointed out wide land allegations in the seas, where Southeast Asian neighbors have long been ongoing disagreements with its neighbors.
“China’s provocative actions in the South China Sea are directly challenging the international laws and norms represented by the United States and India, T said Tillerson.
He added that the US is looking for constructive relationships with China, but that it would not “shrink” the difficulties it creates when it has been “the sovereignty of neighboring countries and the disadvantages of the United States and our friends”.
The US-India relations have usually developed in the last decade due to common concerns about China’s rise. While President Donald Trump tried to deepen the cooperation with China to address North Korea’s nuclear threat, he sought a closer relationship with India, which is worried about Islamic extremism.
Tillerson, “This uncertainty and anger period in India needs a reliable partner in the world stage. I want to clarify: global stability, peace and prosperity for our common values and vision of our vision,” he said.
Tillerson said the United States wants to help improve India’s military capabilities, and also the region wants to develop security cooperation between the major democracies of Japan and Australia.
Tillerson said the United States and India have led regional efforts in the fight against terrorism. He called on India’s Archrival Pakistan to önemli to do decisive actions against terrorist groups based on his own borders that threaten his own people and the wider region ”.
