- Anwar Ibrahim is hosting Myanmar's Min Aung Hlaing in Malaysia, with Al Jazeera reporting the visit coincides with repatriations of Myanmar nationals nearing 10,000.
- Malaysia has sent home approximately 10,000 Myanmar nationals since January, per Reuters, framing the deportations as the backdrop to Min Aung Hlaing's visit.
Why it matters: U.S. News frames Min Aung Hlaing as 'once shunned' and now receiving a 'Malaysian red carpet,' signaling diplomatic rehabilitation of Myanmar's military ruler by a Southeast Asian neighbor even as that same neighbor deports nearly 10,000 of his citizens.
