President U Thein Sein to Visit Bangladesh

Myanmar President Thein Sein will start on July 15 a visit to Bangladesh, three day visit, to discuss bilateral trade and security on the common border, including the situation of the Rohingya, Muslim refugees.

Some 800,000 Muslims from the Rohingya Ethnic live in Myanmar, the majority in Rakhine State, but are denied the right to citizenship and are treated as Bangladeshi.

However, Bangladesh neither recognizes their citizenship and some 300,000 Rohingya are crammed in refugee camps in its territory.
