The question of the oppressed Rohingya people must be solved between Myanmar and Bangladesh via dialogue, Russia’s foreign minister said on Monday, reports Anadolu Agency.



The international community has to provide support to the two states to find a mutually appropriate solution, Sergey Lavrov told a news conference in the capital Moscow after meeting his Bangladeshi counterpart AK Abdul Momen.
"I don't see any other decision, except bilateral, except a decision based on dialogue, on mutual understanding, as it must be between two neighbors," Lavrov said.
There is no progress on the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees to Myanmar - which they fled to escape persecution - but Bangladeshi officials have gathered refugees’ biometric data and now have more precise data on them, said Momen.
This information will help resolve the Rohingya issue, he said.
