4 May

MYANMAR has allowed the returns of Myanmar migrants from Thailand through Myawady border town in Kayin State since 1 May, but no one came back to home under this programme yesterday.

U Bo Bo Wai Maung, the Social Affairs Minister of Kayin State and the reception in-charge, said, “Myanmar government is discussing with Thai authorities through our embassy in the Kingdom. We are expecting more Myanmar migrants from Bangkok, and a clear result could be seen in a couple of days to be able to continue our plan.”

The numbers of returnees to Myanmar through Myawady borders on 1 May and 2 May were 60 and 54 respectively. —Htin Lin Aung (IPRD) (Translated by Aung Khin)
