Forty-five Bangladeshi nationals will leave for Bangladesh on Saturday from Sittwe in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.
The returnees will be carried by the "Myanmar Naval Ship UMS Chin Dwin" which is visiting Bangladesh to bring back members of Myanmar defence force who were forced to cross the border into Bangladesh due to conflict in Rakhine state.
The ship carrying the returnees is expected to reach Cox’s Bazar by Sunday early hours.
Out of the 45 returnees, most of them are from Cox’s Bazar, Narsingdi and Narayanganj districts.
“Due to steadfast efforts of the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon and Bangladesh Consulate in Sittwe, it has become possible to send another batch of Bangladeshi nationals to their families back home,” the embassy said.
