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.
