Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in camps in Bangladesh condemned the military coup in their homeland and said it makes them more fearful to return.

A virtual tripartite meeting among Bangladesh, Myanmar and China began on Tuesday afternoon to discuss ways to expedite the Rohingya repatriation process.

On the eve of discussions between Bangladesh and Myanmar on resolving the Rohingya refugee crisis, China, which provides the 'tripartite' framework  to the dialogue, said it will continue to support the other two countries to find an early and durable solution.

Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Ito Naoki on Thursday said his country supports the repatriation of Rohingyas to their homes in Rakhine State and wants to see the process start next year.
