Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali will fly for Moscow on Sunday on a two-day visit to Russia.
Sources said, Mahmood Ali will hold official talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Monday.
During the meeting, the Rohingya crisis will come up prominently and Dhaka will seek Moscow's support to resolve the protracted crisis, officials said.
The two foreign ministers will discuss on the key issues of bilateral and global agenda, reports UNB.
Some 700,000 Rohingyas have taken shelter in Bangladesh since last August following an army crackdown that the United Nations has likened to ethnic cleansing.
On January 16, Bangladesh and Myanmar signed a document on 'Physical Arrangement' which will facilitate the return of Rohingyas to their homeland from Bangladesh but there is no significant progress over repatriation.
The 'Physical Arrangement' stipulates that the repatriation will be completed preferably within two years from the start of repatriation but no repatriation is taken place so far.
On March 28, Bangladesh Ambassador to Russia Dr S M Saiful Hoque met Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov and discussed preparations for the working visit which is taking place at the invitation of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The Russian Foreign Ministry says the two ministers will review the current state of Russia-Bangladesh relations, the prospects for promoting political dialogue and ties in trade, economic, cultural and other practical areas.
They will also focus on improving the bilateral treaty and legal framework.
With regard to the international and regional agendas, they will focus specifically on expanding cooperation in international organisations, primarily the UN and its specialised agencies.
