The forcibly displaced Rohingyas will be repatriated to Myanmar based on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s five-point proposal and the recommendations made by the Kofi Annan-led Advisory Commission. During the meeting, Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal also invited Suu Kyi to Bangladesh on behalf of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. In response to the invitation, the Myanmar state counsellor said she would visit Bangladesh at a favourable time for both the counties. When informed about yaba smuggling, Suu Kyi said Myanmar will close the borders to stop yaba smuggling to Bangladesh. However, following the brutal persecution and influx of the Rohingyas, Myanmar faced massive international pressure demanding investigations into the violence and killings and repatriation of its citizens.
