The Myanmar government will allow exiled opposition activists who are still on an official “no-entry” blacklist to return to the Southeast Asian country within 100 days, said deputy foreign affairs minister Kyaw Tin on Thursday.
The move is the latest effort by the new civilian-led government under President Htin Kyaw and State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi to make right the wrongs of the past in their push for democratic reform and development in Myanmar.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on granting full rights and protections to those who return, the same as they have received in the countries where they have been living, as well as remove their names from the country’s immigration blacklist, Kyaw Tin said. (Courtesy of rfa.org)
