Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque and his counterpart Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Myanmar U Myint Thu signed an agreement on behalf of the respective governments in the presence of the Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali at Dhaka’s State Guest House Padma on Tuesday.
A six-member delegation led by Myanmar Foreign affairs secretary Myint Thu attended the meeting.
The working group will be led jointly by the both countries. It will handle all the facts related to sending back the Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh to Myanmar.
