Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi said Monday that her country was ready for the return of "verified" Rohingya refugees and sought more cooperation from Bangladesh for the repatriation to begin after delays since early this year.

During talks that lasted over an hour with a UN Security Council delegation, she also said violence in the area could recur "any time", an official release from her office said without further elaboration.

The Security Council team comprising representatives from the five permanent members and 10 non-permanent member states arrived in Naypyidaw on Monday afternoon for a two-day visit to investigate the Rohingya refugee crisis.
