On Saturday, the deputy director general at Myanmar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Aye Aye Soe, told Anadolu Agency that the team is scheduled to visit Bangladesh’s capital this month.
“We haven’t decided the exact date. It depends on the availability of the Bangladesh officials,” she said, adding that the team will be led by Myanmar's deputy foreign minister.
“The discussion will focus on Myanmar nationals living in Bangladesh.”
Dhaka has said that around 50,000 Myanmar "citizens" have taken shelter in Bangladesh since the military orchestrated a clampdown in predominantly Rohingya Muslim areas following Oct. 9. attacks on police outposts in which nine officers died.
In the ensuing clampdown, aid agencies and independent journalists have been denied access to the area, and at least 101 people -- 17 police and soldiers, eight Muslim men working closely with the local authority, and 76 alleged "attackers" (including six who reportedly died during interrogation) -- have now been killed.
More than 600 people have also been detained for alleged involvement in the attacks.
Rohingya advocacy groups, however, claim around 400 Rohingya -- described by the United Nations as among the most persecuted groups worldwide -- were killed in the military operations, women were raped and more than 1,000 Rohingya villages torched.
