Myanmar has agreed to accept an initial 5,000 Rohingya refugees from Malaysia following direct government-to-government negotiations, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced.

Kuala Lumpur police relocated hundreds of Rohingya refugees from outside the UNHCR office to police headquarters for identity verification. The National Security Council will coordinate further action tomorrow, with undocumented individuals facing potential immigration processing.
