Myanmar officials have met with Rohingya refugee families in Bangladesh to discuss their repatriation to Myanmar.

The officials travelled to Bangladesh on Tuesday to meet with refugees amid a new repatriation plan brokered by China. The push is part of a pilot repatriation scheme discussed in a three-way meeting between the two countries and China in April.
