Myanmar will hold its second general elections on Sunday after the end of the military regime. According to the latest figures, the National League for Democracy (NLD), the party of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, remains in power with a majority. As a result, there is little prospect of major policy changes on the Rohingya issue.

According to diplomatic and international relations analysts, since Myanmar is unlikely to change its position, Bangladesh will have to rely on the process of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ensure accountability for women. atrocities committed against the Rohingya. International pressure must increase. Just discussing repatriation will not bring results.

Foreign Secretary Masood bin Momen recently told Prothom Alo that talks on the repatriation of the Rohingya have stalled due to the coronavirus infection and the elections in Myanmar. Hopefully, after the elections in that country, if the new government takes over, the talks will resume.

The Rohingya have long been an unsolved problem between Bangladesh and Myanmar. So far there is no major trade initiative between the two countries. Regular meetings are held on the only border issue between the two countries.
