Rohingya Crisis

Dhaka, Beijing discuss ways for early repatriation

UNB, Dhaka
Bangladesh and China yesterday discussed ways for "early repatriation" of Rohingyas - currently taking shelter in Cox's Bazar district - to their place of origin in Rakhine State of Myanmar.
"Ambassador Li met Foreign Minister Dr Momen for further discussions on early repatriation of the displaced people [Rohingyas] and for an early date of return to their homeland," Yan Hualong, minister (counselor) and deputy head of mission of Chinese embassy in Dhaka told the news agency.
The Chinese envoy yesterday also met Chairman of Red Crescent Society of Bangladesh Hafiz Ahmed Mazumdar, and its Vice-Chairman Prof Dr Md Habibe Millat.
The two sides discussed humanitarian cooperation between Bangladesh and China, and early return of Rohingyas to their homeland.

repatriation, Myanmar has been spreading propaganda and falsehood claiming that Bangladesh is "unwilling" to cooperate, said an official in Dhaka, wishing to remain unnamed.
Bangladesh, China and Myanmar are in discussion to encourage the commencement of the Rohingya repatriation process. One is the establishment of a tripartite joint working mechanism, directly led by the ambassadors of China and Myanmar to Bangladesh and DC of Myanmar Wing of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh. The joint working mechanism is aimed at delving into technical and operational difficulties in the repatriation process through "candid and frequent" discussions, said the Chinese embassy in Dhaka.
It said a common ground has been successfully identified during the first meeting of the joint working mechanism.
Bangladesh has been hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas, most of whom entered Cox's Bazar since August 25, 2017 amid military crackdown on Rohingyas in Rakhine State.
Not a single Rohingya was repatriated over the last two years due to Myanmar's “failure" to build confidence among Rohingyas and lack of a conducive environment in Rakhine State, officials in Dhaka said.
Bangladesh has so far handed over names of over 1 lakh Rohingyas to Myanmar authorities for verification and subsequently is expediting their repatriation efforts, but Myanmar is yet to take back its nationals from Bangladesh, according to the foreign ministry.
The 3,450 Rohingyas who have been verified by Bangladesh and Myanmar, Hindu Rohingyas and those living along the "zero-line" are prioritised groups for early repatriation, the Chinese embassy said.
