00:00Now, the second issue of concerns about the repatriation of Myanmar nationals.
00:06And many of us do not realize that very, very few, hardly any country, in my experience,
00:15are willing to accept this repatriation in a large number, in their own expense,
00:22as you have shown in Myanmar.
00:23So, as a government, we, of course, have to express our appreciation.
00:32Until now, it's over 10,493 Myanmar citizens and personnel taken back through flights and naval ship.
00:46And thanks to our Navy for the collaboration.
00:49And you have stated that the others were present, subject to the records,
00:59will be negotiated further by the Ministry of Home Affairs and their counterpart.
01:05And you're willing to accept them according to the stipulated rules and procedure.
01:15So, I think, I must thank you.
01:18And you mentioned immediately, those in the depot, 3,000, 4,000, will be repatriated.
01:24And anyone who can be as certain as coming from Myanmar,
01:32and, of course, you have to sit in, whether they have current criminal records, whatever,
01:38those procedures, we will have to respect.
01:40But I must again reiterate my thanks for your candid manner and willingness to collaborate.
