Anwar to Invite Myanmar President, Push for Rohingya Repatriation

Anwar says Malaysia wants a voluntary, diplomatic process as Myanmar has agreed to take 5,000 people in stages.

  • Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will invite Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing to Malaysia for talks on the repatriation of Rohingya refugees and Myanmar nationals.
  • Anwar informed the Cabinet and Home Ministry about two weeks ago, prioritizing diplomacy to address local employment difficulties and concerns among communities regarding Myanmar nationals.
  • Myanmar has agreed to accept an initial 5,000 people, with Malaysia planning phased returns for up to 200,000 individuals; the first phase involves about 1,500 people this September.
  • Anwar stated the move aims to reduce security and financial burdens at immigration depots. Malaysia must ensure those returning to Myanmar will be safe, he emphasized.
  • While expressing willingness to trade and accept Myanmar, Anwar insisted Myanmar must reciprocate by accepting returnees, though safety guarantees for destination areas remain a critical question.
