Home Minister to visit Myanmar on Oct 23

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Thursday said he will visit Myanmar on October 23.

In the visit, Rohingya issue will be included as the top agenda of dialogue.

In a reply to a question, Asaduzzaman Khan said this while speaking to the journalists at the Secretariat.

The minister will ask Myanmar to take back the Rohingya refugees in their country.

Earlier on October 2, Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed to form a joint working group to start the repatriation process of all the Rohingyas living in Bangladesh, which Dhaka sees as a ‘progress’.

Since August 25, more than half a million Rohingyas have entered Bangladesh to flee ethnic cleansing in their homeland Myanmar.
