A Myanmar national who faced difficulties while working in Iraq returned safely to Myanmar, ac­cording to government sources.

Ma Wai Wai Khine left Myan­mar for Iraq in 2024 for employ­ment. However, she fled from her workplace after encountering problems with her employer and was later detained by Ira­qi authorities. She spent three months at a detention centre while her case was processed.

Following coordination be­tween the Myanmar Embassy, the Myanmar Consulate and Ira­qi immigration authorities, ar­rangements were made for her repatriation. She departed Iraq on 30 April via the Bahrain-Bang­kok-Yangon route and arrived in Yangon at around 6 pm the same day.

Officials said the govern­ment remains committed to as­sisting Myanmar citizens abroad who face hardship, ensuring their safe return whenever pos­sible.— Kyaw Gyi/KZL
