Rohingya, Bangladesh officials to visit Myanmar in repatriation effort

A team of 20 Rohingya Muslims and some Bangladeshi officials will visit Myanmar's Rakhine state on Friday for a day as part of a planned repatriation effort, a Bangladesh repatriation official told Reuters.

Nearly one million Rohingya Muslim refugees are living in camps in the border district of Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, most having fled a military-led crackdown in Myanmar in 2017.

Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, Bangladesh's refugee relief and repatriation commissioner in Cox's Bazar, said it was a "go and see" visit and the delegation would return the same evening.
