When states encourage population outflows to neighbouring countries, they create grave risks and compound the suffering of people fleeing. It drives onward movements, exposes people to exploitation and can overwhelm reception capacities in other states. https://t.co/8QwkTMfp3X

Japan’s humanitarian support to refugees from Myanmar and Afghanistan, as well as in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, is important and appreciated. It must be upheld and strengthened.
