Story summary

Min Aung Hlaing, leader of Myanmar's military-backed government and former military chief, visited Malaysia on Wednesday for a two-day trip aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and discussing the repatriation of thousands of Myanmar nationals. Despite international criticism and warnings from the United Nations and rights groups about safety risks in conflict zones, Malaysia is pushing ahead with repatriations. During his visit, Min Aung Hlaing met with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to discuss cooperation on the voluntary, dignified, and safe return of Myanmar nationals who have been living illegally in Malaysia. The meeting follows recent controversial actions by Malaysia, such as the repatriation of nearly 1,500 individuals just days before Hlaing's visit.
