Myanmar forms advisory commission for Implementation Committee of Rakhine state

YANGON, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Myanmar government has formed an advisory commission with experts from home and abroad for the Implementation Committee of Rakhine state, which was established in September, according to a presidential statement on Saturday.

For effective implementation of matters relating to Rakhine state, the advisory commission was formed with a total of 10 local and foreign experts from related fields.

The committee was established to implement the recommendations of the final report of the Advisory Commission, led by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the Maungtaw Investigation Commission.

Meanwhile, the government has asked for cooperation from local and international community in rebuilding and resettlement efforts for conflict-torn Rakhine state.

In the latest development, all displaced people taking shelter at 31 camps in Sittway, capital of Rakhie state, have come back to their homes as the situation in the state returned to normalcy.

The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army extremist terrorists launched fresh attacks on police outposts in Rakhine on Aug. 25, displacing residents from a number of areas in Maungtaw district. Enditem
