Kuala Lumpur:Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's meeting with Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing today is centered on addressing the longstanding issue of Myanmar refugees in Malaysia rather than recognizing the Myanmar government.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil emphasized that the meeting reflects the government's approach to using diplomatic channels to tackle domestic concerns, particularly those involving the refugees.

Fahmi expressed hope that the discussions would lead to positive outcomes, including the facilitation of refugee returns to Myanmar through proper channels. He noted that the aim is to address issues faced domestically by allowing refugees from Myanmar's 19 ethnic groups in Malaysia to return home.

Additionally, Fahmi, who serves as the MADANI Government spokesperson, mentioned an important meeting scheduled for tomorrow following the tabling of Budget 2027. This meeting is expected to cover efforts to enhance bilateral ties and address issues concerning Palestine.

He encouraged anticipation for the outcomes of these significant meetings taking place today and tomorrow.
