The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is expected to deliver its verdict in October in the Rohingya genocide case against Myanmar, according to Gambia's Attorney General and Justice Minister Dawda A. Jallow. Jallow made this announcement during a meeting with State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir on the sidelines of the 23rd OIC Extraordinary Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Jeddah.

## Critical Role in Crisis Resolution

The verdict on accountability for atrocities committed against the Rohingyas is anticipated to play a critical role in finding a sustainable solution to the protracted crisis. State Minister Kobir appreciated Gambia's leadership in pursuing accountability for the Rohingyas before the ICJ and underscored the importance of close cooperation between Dhaka and Banjul on the issue.

Kobir particularly stressed enhanced cooperation during Bangladesh's Foreign Minister's presidency of the UN General Assembly to keep the Rohingya crisis high on the global agenda. He called for advancing efforts towards a comprehensive and sustainable solution to the crisis, including the safe, dignified, and voluntary return of the Rohingyas to their homeland.

## Regional and Bilateral Cooperation

On the sidelines of the OIC meeting, Kobir separately met Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sultan bin Saad Al-Muraikhi and reaffirmed Bangladesh's support for Doha's mediation efforts between Iran and the United States. He commended Qatar's role in promoting dialogue as well as regional peace and stability.

During the meeting, Kobir requested Qatar to prioritize LNG supplies to Bangladesh as soon as the Strait of Hormuz reopens and maritime movement resumes. The Qatari state minister thanked Bangladesh for its support and expressed Doha's readiness to further strengthen energy cooperation with Dhaka. The two sides also discussed other bilateral issues.

Kobir also held a brief meeting with Maldives Foreign Minister Iruthisham Adam, during which the two sides discussed bilateral issues and exchanged views on matters of mutual interest.
