DHAKA, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal is set to visit Myanmar this month to discuss Rohingya repatriation process.
The home minister told reporters about the planned trip after meeting senior officials in capital Dhaka on Sunday. "My Myanmar visit takes place within this month," he said.
The minister announced his visit about a week after Dhaka and Nay Pyi Taw agreed to establish a joint working group soon to repatriate Rohingya people who have crossed into Bangladesh.
The agreement came during a meeting between Bangladeshi Minister for Foreign Affairs Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali and a Myanmar delegation led by Minister of the State Counselor's Office U Kyaw Tint Swe on Monday.
U Kyaw Tint Swe, representative of Myanmar's State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, visited Dhaka to discuss the Rohingya issue with the Bangladeshi side.
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army extremist terrorists launched attacks on police outposts in Myanmar's Rakhine State on Aug. 25, displacing a vast number of residents to border areas with Bangladesh.
