Senior Correspondent: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said that the Rohingya issue will be the main agenda during his Myanmar tour.

The minister made the assertion while addressing reporters after a meeting at his secretariat office on Sunday.

He said, "Thousands of Rohingyas entered Bangladesh. That will be our main agenda. We will discuss on that issue so that Myanmar take back its nationals."

"The visit was scheduled way earlier, but in the meantime the situation in Myanmar has changed. It may happen this month," Home Minister said.

He said the Bangladesh envoy to Myanmar is also working to finalise the agenda of the meeting with his Myanmar counterpart. ‘The key agenda will be Rohingya issue. We’ll discuss the problem.’

Asaduzzaman Khan also said, "We believe we’ll be able to help Rohingyas return to their homeland through diplomatic efforts."

State Minister for ICT Division Junaid Ahmed Palak, Secretary of the Security Services Division of Ministry of Home Affairs Farid Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury, Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Haque and other high officials attended the meeting.
