Myanmar will accept the return of around 1,000 Rohingya refugees in a pilot repatriation programme, with a junta spokesman telling AFP Wednesday the resettlement would likely begin by mid-April, reports AFP.
"We will receive people back according to both countries' agreement... About 1,000 people will be in (the) first batch," Zaw Min Tun told the news agency.
Currently, Bangladesh is hoisting 1.1 million Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar and Noakhali’s Bhasanchar.
