Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on 12 September visited Rohingya refugee camp along with a delegation in Kutupalong.

Prime Minister Hasina arrived at Cox's Bazar with the Disaster Management and Relief Minister, Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury, the Minister of Housing and Public Works, Engr Mosharraf Hossain, the State Minister for Land, Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, and various others, the Dhaka Tribune reported.
