Kyaw Tin pointed out that it is important both parties should comply with the provisions described in the agreement signed by Myanmar and Bangladesh. Those who are wishing to return native place are in panic to express their real desire because of the threats imposed by ARSA terrorists and that resulted in the obstacles to the repatriation process. There were those who returned home of their own volition. The capacity of security organizations should be upgraded for the sake of the security of those returnees and local people. The government is making attempts to have good environments in Rakhine State in cooperation with the ASEAN bloc and the UN and international assistance is of great importance.
