The government's search for a 'win-win' solution to the conflict between the two groups follows a new outbreak of violence last week in which attacks by Buddhist mobs left 89 dead and forced more than 28,000 to flee their homes. An estimated 130 Rohingya refugees from the violence are missing off the coast of Bangladesh after their boat sank while heading to Malaysia. Bangladesh has refused to accept Rohingya refugees because it believes many are illegal immigrants.
The scale of the violence and the suffering of those forced to flee prompted calls for the Burmese government to intervene and warnings from the international community that its recent democratic reforms would be tarnished if it did not stop the attacks.
In an interview with The Hindu newspaper, Burma's information minister, U Ang Kyi, said his government is working towards a "win-win solution for all stakeholders" and acknowledged that the statelessness of its Rohingya Muslim minority is a key cause of its suffering in the country.

He said local Rakhine people had not intended to cause violence on the scale seen over the last week and that he was confident the conflict will be brought under control. "The local people also have this belief, and from this situation we are going to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders, a solution that will benefit everybody," he said.[/size][/color][/size][/color][/size]
