Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that he would visit Myanmar on Monday to hold talks with the Myanmar government. The minister would lead an eight-member delegation including two secretaries, an additional secretary, the three chiefs of police, Border Guard Bangladesh and Coast Guard, and the additional director general of the Department of Narcotics Control. Kamal said the delegation was going to visit Myanmar on an invitation from its government. The home minister, however, said some 500,000 Rohingyas came to Bangladesh long ago and now over 500,000 more have arrived since late August. During talks with Bangladesh government representatives, he had agreed to take back over half a million of its forcibly displaced Rohingya nationals from Bangladesh.
