Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali again insisted for quick and smooth repatriation of over a million Rohingyas to their homeland as new Myanmar ambassador in Dhaka Lwin Oo called on him on Sunday at his office here. “He (Ali) discussed with the Ambassador about the process of repatriation of Myanmar Residents and emphasized on implementation of the bilateral agreements on repatriation smoothly,” a foreign ministry statement said. The minister, it said, particularly stressed rebuilding of houses and villages at their ancestral home in Myanmar’s Rakhine state involving international partners to pave ways for voluntary repatriation of Rohingyas. According to the statement Lwin informed the minister that Myanmar’s home ministry along with their labour, immigration and population ministry were working on the list of 8032 Myanmar residents handed over by Bangladesh during the visit of their home minister’s Dhaka visit from 15-17 February.
