DHAKA, May 7 -- Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday urged the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to search for new partners to increase the international fund for Rohingyas who have taken shelter in Bangladesh to escape persecution in Myanmar.

"Since the the assistance for Rohingyas has declined, the IOM should look for new partners to raise more funds for them," she said.

The premier made this call when IOM Director General Amy Pope paid a courtesy call on her at the latter's official residence Ganabhaban.

PM's Speechwriter Md Nazrul Islam briefed reporters after the meeting.
