            From the newsroom of the BBC World Service 
(as posted on soc.culture.burma)

	   The Burmese Foreign Minister, Ohn Gyaw, who is
            visiting Bangladesh, says his country is ready to take
            back the remaining Burmese Muslim refugees -- known
            as the Rohingyas -- who are living in camps in southern
            Bangladesh, but no date has been set for their
            repatriation. 

            Mr Gyaw was speaking after talks on the refugee
            problem with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Abdus Samad
            Azad, in Dhaka. 

            The two foreign ministers also agreed to set up a joint
            trade commission. 

            There are about twenty five thousand Burmese refugees
            left in Bangladesh -- many of them have been refusing
            repatriation.
