Myanmar's social welfare minister due today

To visit Rohingya camps

Diplomatic Correspondent
Myanmar's I minister i Win Myat I Aye, who is J overseeing L the repatria- . t i o n o f Rohingyas, will visit the refugee camps in Cox's Bazar and discuss government high officials about the current state of repatriation.
Officials at the foreign ministry and the Myanmar embassy in Dhaka said Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Minister Aye is due in Dhaka early today.
They said he is scheduled to go to Cox's Bazar this morning to see for himself the plight of the Rohingyas who are staying in makeshift camps in Kutupalong. He is expected to talk to officials there and return to Dhaka for meetings with government high officials.
Over 7,00,000 forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals have been sheltered in the refugee camps amid military crackdown in Rakhine State since August 25 last year.
According to a report of the Myanmar Times yesterday, Aye will meet the refugee families who have been approved by the Myanmar government for repatriation.
Quoting the Myanmar's minister, the newspaper said he had asked the Bangladeshi authorities to set up a meeting with the families whose names are on Myanmar's list of the first batch of refugees due for repatriation.
The Myanmar government has so far cleared 711 people out of a list of 8,032 given by the Bangladesh government on February 19 for repatriation.
"I will also visit the camps. I will assure of Myanmar's readiness for repatriation," Aye was quoted as saying in the report. "The rainy season is approaching. We want this process to move fast. While |in Cox's Bazar], I will meet with families residing in the camps and pass on a message that our side is ready for repatriation."
Dhaka hopes that the trip of the Myanmar's minister would help speed up the repatriation process, but Myat Aye in a recent media interview had made it clear that the repatriation would be delayed as they needed more
time to verify the list of the refugees provided by Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh government with the help from UNHCR has already prepared the second list of 10,000 refugees and is planning to hand it over to the Myanmar authorities in the upcoming meeting of the joint working group to be held in Myanmar.
Rights groups have raised concern about the safety of Rohingyas being sent back to Myanmar, where authorities have razed many Rohingya villages in the western state of Rakhine.
The Myanmar's minister will also meet Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
After facing an international outcry and accusation of ethnic cleansing, Myanmar signed a repatriation agreement with Bangladesh in November last year and promised to begin the repatriation within two months.
