Myanmar willing to accept repatriation of nationals in large numbers at own expense, says Anwar

Myanmar is ready to repatriate its nationals on a large scale at its own expense, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated.

Over 10,493 Myanmar citizens have been repatriated, with ongoing negotiations for further repatriation involving Malaysia's Ministry of Home Affairs.

Repatriation involves verification of nationality and records, with Myanmar indicating 3,000 to 4,000 nationals from immigration depots will be returned.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 8 — Myanmar is prepared to facilitate the repatriation of its nationals on a large scale, with the country ready to bear the associated costs, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

He said more than 10,493 Myanmar citizens and personnel had so far been repatriated to Myanmar through flights and naval ships, with further repatriation to be negotiated between Malaysia’s Ministry of Home Affairs and its Myanmar counterpart.

Anwar said Malaysia appreciated Myanmar’s willingness to accept its nationals, noting that very few countries were prepared to undertake repatriation in such large numbers at their own expense.

“Very, very few, hardly any country in my experience, are willing to accept this repatriation in large numbers at their own expense, as you have shown in Myanmar,” he said in his remarks during a joint press conference here today in conjunction with Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing two-day official visit that began yesterday.

Anwar said the remaining Myanmar nationals would be repatriated according to the stipulated rules and procedures, subject to verification of their records.

Anwar said Min Aung Hlaing had also indicated that between 3,000 and 4,000 Myanmar nationals currently at immigration depots would be repatriated.

He added relevant authorities would need to verify nationality and records, including any criminal records, before completing the repatriation process.

Anwar also thanked Myanmar for its cooperation, particularly in facilitating the return of its nationals.

“I must again reiterate my thanks for your candid manner and willingness to collaborate,” he said.

The two leaders have discussed several key issues, including efforts to repatriate Myanmar nationals of all ethnic groups who are in Malaysia illegally, on a voluntary, dignified and safe basis. — Bernama

缅甸总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，缅甸已准备好自费大规模遣返其国民。

已有超过 10493 名缅甸公民被遣返回国，目前仍在与马来西亚内政部就进一步遣返事宜进行谈判。

遣返工作包括核实国籍和记录，缅甸方面表示将从移民拘留中心遣返 3000 至 4000 名国民。

布城，10月8日——缅甸总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣今天表示，缅甸已做好准备，大规模协助其国民回国，并愿意承担相关费用。

他表示，迄今为止，已有超过 10493 名缅甸公民和人员通过飞机和海军舰艇被遣返回缅甸，进一步的遣返工作将由马来西亚内政部和缅甸内政部进行谈判。

安华表示，马来西亚感谢缅甸愿意接收其国民，并指出很少有国家愿意自费进行如此大规模的遣返。

“以我的经验来看，很少有国家愿意自费接收大量遣返人员，就像你们在缅甸所做的那样，”他在今天与缅甸总统敏昂莱举行的联合新闻发布会上发表讲话时说道。此次新闻发布会是为配合敏昂莱总统昨天开始的为期两天的正式访问而举行的。

安华表示，其余缅甸国民将按照既定规则和程序遣返，但需核实其档案。

安华表示，敏昂莱还表示，目前在移民拘留中心的3000至4000名缅甸国民将被遣返回国。

他还补充说，相关部门在完成遣返程序之前，需要核实国籍和记录，包括任何犯罪记录。

安华还感谢缅甸的合作，尤其是在协助其国民返回方面。

“我必须再次感谢你坦诚的态度和合作意愿，”他说。
