Bangladesh and Myanmar will sit together in Dhaka on Tuesday to discuss the Rohingya repatriation issues.
The joint working group (JWG) meeting between Bangladesh and Myanmar will be held on October 30 will discuss how the repartition will start.
There is a chance to complete the first batch of repatriation of the verified Rohingyas before the next national election though it is difficult to predict about such a complex issue, said a diplomatic source.
The source added that China is pushing for quick implementation of repatriation agreements between Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Visiting Chinese Minister and Party Committee Secretary of the Ministry of Public Security Zhao Kezhi and his Bangladesh counterpart also discussed the Rohingya issue on Friday, reports UNB.
The Bangladesh side sought China's role in repatriating Rohingya people from Bangladesh to their homes in Myanmar.
"There'll be a tripartite meeting among Bangladesh Foreign Minister (AH Mahmood Ali) and his Chinese and Myanmar counterparts where they will discuss the issue further," said Minister Asaduzzaman Khan.
But the Home Minister did not elaborate when and where this meeting will be held.
Similar meetings were held in New York and Beijing on the sidelines in the past months that indicate pressure on Myanmar is mounting.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said China always believes that the international community should play a constructive role in the Rakhine State issue, and its actions should be conducive to promoting consultation and cooperation between Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Foreign Ministry officials said the Bangladesh side of joint working group is likely to discuss the broad issues on Sunday before the joint working group meeting that will be held on Tuesday in the capital city.
The joint working group members from both sides will visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar on October 31. "They'll have interactions Rohingyas," an official told the news agency.
He said Bangladesh will seek updates on what steps are taken for the safe and sustainable return of Rohingyas to their homeland Myanmar from Bangladesh.
Bangladesh wants to make sure that the Rohingyas who are expected to return to Myanmar in the first batch of repatriation may have houses and other facilities to live in their own villages.
