Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed on Monday to set up a "joint working group" on the repatriation of Rohingya Muslim refugees, who have fled to Bangladesh, Reuters has quoted the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali, as saying.
"We are looking forward to a peaceful solution to the crisis," Ali said after his talks with Myanmar government official, Kyaw Tint Swe.
More than half a million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh since late August, to escape what the United Nations has branded ethnic cleansing by Myanmar's military.
