Malaysia hosts Myanmar leader Min Aung Hlaing to discuss refugee repatriation
Myanmar’s leader, Min Aung Hlaing, recently visited Kuala Lumpur, receiving a formal welcome from Malaysian authorities. The visit aimed to address the ongoing issue of Myanmar refugees and migrants residing in Malaysia.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed a commitment to helping reintegrate Myanmar into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This follows the regional bloc's decision to bar Min Aung Hlaing from high-level meetings due to his refusal to implement the Five Point Consensus peace plan.
During the visit, Min Aung Hlaing stated that Myanmar is prepared to accept its nationals back at its own expense and indicated plans to use Navy ships for repatriation. Malaysia currently hosts approximately 193,000 Myanmar nationals, including many from the Rohingya minority. The civil war in Myanmar, which began following the 2021 coup, has resulted in an estimated 100,000 deaths and the displacement of 3.5 million people.
