The director general level talk on the Rohingya situation between Dhaka and Naypyidaw will be held in Myanmar on Monday.
Miah Md Mainul Kabir, director general of the foreign ministry's Myanmar wing, will lead the Bangladesh delegation.
The meeting comes as Bangladesh, Myanmar, and China are still looking for a suitable time to begin repatriating Rohingyas, despite Western countries' reservations over safety and security issues in the Rakhine State.
"Work is underway to initiate the repatriation of Rohingyas under a trilateral initiative of Bangladesh-Myanmar-China, brokered by China. We are finding a suitable and fixed date convenient for all concerned to start the repatriation,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Seheli Sabrin said recently at the weekly media briefing.
China is a party to the tripartite agreement with Bangladesh and Myanmar for sending Rohingyas back to their homeland in the Rakhine State from where they fled “ethnic cleansing”, mostly after the August 2017 military crackdown.
With no guarantee of citizenship and safety in the Rakhine State, none of the Rohingyas returned to Myanmar.
There had been efforts to send them. Some of them visited Rakhine State to see the conditions.
Bangladesh sent a list of 3,000 Rohingyas to Myanmar.
The UN agencies and some Western countries also maintained that the situation was not conducive for Rohingyas to return to Myanmar.
Bangladesh, however, maintained that it would be a voluntary repatriation with safety and security.
