News Desk: Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Thursday said the Myanmar’s military government has conveyed that they would honour all the previous deals signed between Dhaka and Naypyidaw to commence Rohingya repatriation.
“That’s good news,” he told reporters while disclosing the outcome of his today’s meeting with Chinese Ambassador in Dhaka Li Jiming.
On November 23, 2017, Bangladesh and Myanmar signed a repatriation agreement, but not a single Rohingya went back to their land of origin in Rakhine state from Bangladesh so far.
Momen said the Myanmar military authority informed Beijing that they are willing to take back the displaced Rohingyas after verification.
However, the foreign minister said, the Myanmar side did not mention any specific date for commencing the repatriation of the Rohingyas from Bangladesh.
