It is estimated that 741,000 of them have fled from Myanmar since August 2017, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). He said the repatriation process could begin once Bangladesh accepted it. In a bid to extend cooperation with international partners to make a success of the repatriation process, Myanmar on Tuesday re-signed a memorandum of understanding with the UNHCR and the United Nations Development Programme. Myanmar would prioritise capacity building, information dissemination and basic needs in order to speed up the repatriation process. People from the other side (refugees who are now in Bangladesh) do not know anything about our readiness for the repatriation process.
