But they now appear to have agreed on the nationality of some of the rescued migrant, who come from a first boatload of more than 200 found in late May
"Bangladesh will transfer 150 migrant after a friendly meeting between two countries," Saw Naing, deputy director of Maungdaw district immigration, said
The group-all men- moved from a holding camp yesterday to a bridge over the NafRiver that separates the two countries, according to reporters
They were given new, clean clothes, making a marked contrast to the conditions they were found in - unwashed, bare-chested and hungry after weeks on an overcrowded boat
Myanmar initially said all 208 on the first boat they intercepted were from Banglabesh, leading in fears it may try to deport unwanted Rohingya Muslims, some 1.3 million of whom live in Rakhine State
