US Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs of the State Department Afrin Akter has visited a Rohingya camp in Ukhyia, Cox's Bazar, and talked with some refugees there.

She made the visit with a six-member delegation on Tuesday morning.

Cox's Bazar Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC) Mohammed Mizanur Rahman said Akter inspected various UN-run activities in the camp and exchanged views with a delegation of Rohingyas.

“The US delegation reached the registration centre of Kutupalong Camp No 4 in Ukhiya around 10:30am and inspected the registration activities of Rohingyas,” he said.

Later, she visited the Rohingya Women's Centre, Learning Centre, Technical Training Centre and e-Voucher Centre run by the United Nations World Food Programme located in the camp. 

Afrin Akter is scheduled to hold a meeting with high-level government officials at the RRRC office in Cox's Bazar in the afternoon.
