Dr. Momen accused Myanmar of lack of sincerity and cooperation on the issue of repatriation of Rohingya refugees to their homeland.
Bangladesh and Myanmar had signed a repatriation deal in November 2017 followed by a physical agreement in January 2018 to facilitate the return of Rohingyas to the Rakhine province. However there has been no success in the repatriation of Rohingyas despite two failed attempts in the past.
Currently more than a million Rohingya are living in refugee camps in Bangladesh after fleeing the military crackdown in the Rakhine province of Myanmar in August 2017.
