Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono speaks at a news conference in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw Jan. 12 2018
Myanmar is building a camp to temporarily house 30,000 Rohingya Muslims targeted for repatriation after fleeing violence in Rakhine State, state media reported on Monday, as Myanmar and Bangladesh meet to discuss how to implement a repatriation deal.
As per the agreement, the repatriation is supposed to begin on January 23.
To become citizens, the Rohingya must obtain national verification cards before they will be granted a status according to the law, such as guest citizens or people who can apply for citizenship, he said.
According to the repatriation deal, Myanmar "would restore normalcy in Northern Rakhine (State) and to encourage those who had left Myanmar to return voluntarily and safely to their own households" or "to a safe and secure place nearest to it of their choice".
They are widely called "Bengalis" and are accused of migrating illegally from Bangladesh.
It is a sad reality that the Rohingya in Myanmar are being treated brutally.
Suu Kyi's statement comes after the country's army, for the first time on Wednesday, admitted that it carried out extrajudicial killings of a group of Rohingyas, whose bodies had been discovered in a mass grave in the Rakhine State in western Myanmar.

Buddhist-majority Myanmar has for years denied Rohingya citizenship, freedom of movement and access to many basic services such as healthcare and education.
This article has been adapted from its original source. These people now live in camps and rely on aid.
Protesters said they have doubts about the process because some Rohingya are listed under the Kaman Muslim ethnic category, and they have demanded that officials check them carefully.
Myanmar officials plan to start the repatriation process next Tuesday.
However, the United Nations refugee agency said Tuesday that it has not been invited to take part or given full access to the areas where refugees are to return.
Under the November agreement, Rohingya will need to provide evidence of their residency in Myanmar in order to return - something many say they do not have. "They may accuse us of helping the militants".
The second Bangladesh official, Refugee Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner Mohammed Abul Kalam, said the "Rohingyas' reluctance to go back" was an issue that needed to be addressed. It said they agreed that the process "would be completed preferably within two years from the commencement of repatriation".
