Suu Kyi sending minister to Bangladesh

Myanmar's de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi is sending her minister to Bangladesh amid international pressure over the Rakhine State crisis in which her government stands accused of ‘ethnic cleansing’.

Minister of the Office of Myanmar’s State Counsellor Kyaw Tint Swe is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on Sunday night, a senior official at the foreign ministry in Dhaka has said.

He will meet Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali on Monday before leaving Dhaka on the same day.

“There is only one meeting which is with our foreign minister,” the official who is not authorised to talk to the media said, adding that there is no schedule of his visit to Cox’s Bazar where those Rohingyas took shelter, according to bdnews24.com.
