In a unanimous 17-0 decision on Thursday, the International Court of Justice rejected Myanmar's argument that the deaths of the Rohingya were part of an "armed military conflict."

The two sides exchanged memoranda of understanding, letters and protocols covering 33 projects in the fields of information, industry, agriculture, security and the resettlement of internally displaced people in Myanmar's war-torn Kachin State, which borders China.

Aung San Suu Kyi denied that her government committed genocide against the Muslim minority group at the International Court of Justice in the Hague on Wednesday.

The court was told that the exodus of hundreds of thousands of Muslims was the unfortunate result of a battle with insurgents.

The case alleges that Myanmar's actions are 'genocidal in character because they are intended to destroy the Rohingya group in whole or in part.'

Aung San Suu Kyi was pictured smiling as she walked through the airport in the nation’s capital, a day after thousands rallied in the city to support her and a prayer ceremony was held in her name.

Systemic violence by the Myanmar government forced more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee.

Two Reuters journalists jailed in Myanmar on charges of breaking the country's Official Secrets Act are innocent, according to the British government.

"Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful country. The people are full of joy and the food is amazing," Dorsey tweeted.

Bangladesh is abandoning plans to send 700,000 Rohingya refugees back to Myanmar, citing the group's unwillingness to go back to a country where many of their people were killed.
