Bangladesh has not talked about any corridor to Rakhine and will not do it, National Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman said today during a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy.
He said there is an element of people's movement when it comes to a humanitarian corridor, but that is not something the UN has proposed.
The UN requested if Bangladesh could help with logistic support for transporting humanitarian aid to Rakhine.
"We said we can support it if the Arakan Army ensures representation of the Rohingya in the leadership of Rakhine state's administrative, security and political spheres.
"If the Arakan Army does not do it, if they do ethnic cleansing, we cannot allow aid in Rakhine."
Khalilur Rahman said Myanmar government and Arakan Army also have to stop fighting and ensure security.
Asked if he had any difference of opinion with the Bangladesh armed forces regarding the humanitarian channel, he said there was absolutely no such issue on the matter.
"I am working very closely with the armed forces and foreign ministry and we are on the same page."
