Forty-five Bangladeshi nationals are expected to reach Cox's Bazar from Myanmar early Sunday (9 June). They will leave for Bangladesh on Saturday from Sittwe in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.
The returnees will be carried by the Myanmar Naval Ship UMS Chin Dwin which is visiting Bangladesh to bring back members of Myanmar defence force who were forced to cross the border into Bangladesh due to conflict in Rakhine state.
Most of them are from Cox's Bazar, Narshingdi and Narayanganj districts of Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Embassy said that due to the steadfast efforts of the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon and the Bangladesh Consulate in Sittwe, it has become possible to send another batch of Bangladeshi nationals home to their families.
In the last year, the Bangladesh Embassy in Myanmar actively pursued the coordinated return of 247 Bangladeshi nationals back home.
The last and the return took place on 23 April 2023 when 173 Bangladeshis returned home.
Representatives of the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon and the Bangladesh Consulate, Sittwe, were physically present to coordinate with the local authorities, conduct the verification process and issue Travel Permits in favour of the returnees.
