In addition to implementing the tripartite memorandum of understanding, UNDP, UNHCR and other UN agencies have been working in Rakhine to put a wide-ranging development and humanitarian assistance initiative in place with support from major donors, he said.

He also acknowledged the support from the Government of Bangladesh to Rohingya refugees, while noting that only 34 percent of the needs identified by the 2018 Joint Response Plan have been funded.

"Creating the conditions for voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable returns to Myanmar will require at least medium-term planning," he said, adding that addressing the needs of the refugees in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh, is also of primary importance.

The Security Council on Tuesday afternoon was also briefed by the UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett on the situation in Myanmar and the Rohingya refugee crisis. British Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN, Lord Ahmad, chaired the meeting.

Britain, this month's president and the lead on Myanmar in the Council, has chosen to hold a meeting on Myanmar to mark the one-year anniversary of the crisis that has led to more than 750,000 refugees fleeing to Bangladesh.
