Beijing: Rohingya return readied

Myanmar and Bangladesh are showing their readiness for the return of Rohingya people who escaped conflict in Myanmar's Rakhine state, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday.

China, friend of both Bangladesh and Myanmar, hopes to see the two countries properly settle the issue through talks, Wang said when he and Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali spoke with reporters on Friday.

Their meeting came a day after Wang met with U Kyaw Tint Swe, Myanmar's minister for the Office of the State Counselor, in Beijing.
