<p>The UK shares UNHCR's assessment that conditions in northern Rakhine State are
not currently conducive to refugees returning safely and in dignity. I called the
Bangladeshi State Minister of Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam and Burmese Minister for
International Cooperation Kyaw Tin on 1 November to stress the UK's serious concern
at their Governments' announcement on 30 October that refugee repatriation would commence
in mid-November. The UK will continue to make representations underlining the importance
of a safe, voluntary and dignified return for refugees.</p>
