Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono is working on a plan to visit Bangladesh to help ease the plight of minority Rohingya Muslims.
His current plan calls for a 3-day visit from next Saturday to the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, where he plans to meet key government dignitaries.
The Foreign Ministry is arranging to send one of Kono’s deputies to Myanmar.
Myanmar is being criticized for poor distribution of humanitarian aid to Rohingya and human rights abuses by Myanmar’s security forces.
More than 600,000 Rohingya have fled violence in Rakhine State, western Myanmar, to Bangladesh.
