DHAKA—Bangladesh is in negotiations with Burma aimed at a deal to repatriate Rohingya refugees and Dhaka’s foreign minister will address the matter at talks in Burma this week, the Bangladeshi foreign ministry said on Sunday.
More than 600,000 Rohingya have fled to neighboring Bangladesh since late August. A majority Muslim and minority Hindu, the Rohingya have been driven out by a military clearance operation in Burma’s Rakhine State which is majority Buddhist. The suffering in the Rakhine and beyond has caused an international outcry.
