UNB, Dhaka :
Myanmar is sending its Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Minister Win Myat Aye next week to visit Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar district.
This will be the first such visit by any Myanmar minister to the largest-ever refugee camps where some 700,000 Rohingyas have taken shelter since last August following an army crackdown in Rakhine. The United Nations has likened it to ethnic cleansing. Minister Win Myat Aye is scheduled to arrive here on April 11 and will visit Rohingya camps on April 12, a
Foreign Ministry source said without elaborating his programme.
Though there have been high-level visits from Myanmar, including minister, no one of them did visit the Rohingya camps. Earlier, Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque said one of the Myanmar ministers will be visiting Bangladesh this month.
