Rohingya repatriation talks after full formation of Myanmar govt: Momen

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said Bangladesh will approach for resuming the Rohingya repatriation talks after the full formation of a new government in Myanmar, saying Bangladesh stands ready to send back Rohingyas.

The repatriation talks remain halted due to Covid-19 pandemic and elections in Myanmar.

Bangladesh will also activate a tripartite mechanism -- Bangladesh-China-Myanmar -- so that Myanmar takes back Rohingyas from Bangladesh, said the foreign minister.

"We remain engaged on all fronts," he told reporters after a discussion on 'Sylhet Development Authority Law' at Foreign Service Academy.
