Disaster Management and Relief State Minister Dr Md Enamur Rahman on Wednesday said China, Myanmar and Bangladesh had a discussion on Rohingya repatriation with the United Nations.

"The repatriation process is going on with the help of the international community by ensuring human rights of the Rohingya people, including access to medical facilities, security and education," the minister said while visiting the Rohingya camp at Ukhia upazila in Cox's Bazar.

"The United Nations were notified about Rohingya repatriation and the processes are taking place accordingly," he added.

Masud Uddin, Mir Mostaque Ahmed Robi and Jewel Areng, senior secretary of the ministry Shah Kamal, refugee relief and repatriation commissioner to Cox's Bazar Md Mahbub Alam Talukder, additional deputy commissioner Md Shajahan Ali and other senior officials were present.

Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas in Cox's Bazar district and most of them entered Bangladesh since August 25, 2017 amid military crackdown in Rakhine State of Myanmar against Rohingyas.
