Japan MP wants CHT land issue resolved

Dhaka, Dec 21 (bdnews24.com)--The government should give priority to resolving land disputes to fully implement the Chittagong Hill Tracts peace accord, Japanese parliamentarian Naoto Sakaguchi says.

"First priority is definitely the land issue since its related to human rights and important for the co-existence of settlers and indigenous people," he told the media on Monday while briefing on his three-day visit to the CHT.

Sakaguchi, member of the foreign affairs committee of Japan's House of Representatives, is in Bangladesh to have a first-hand assessment of the situation in the hills region. >more> http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=149321&cid=2
