Myanmar has deported over 50,000 illegal foreigners from October 2023 to August 2024, the state-run media the Mirror reported on Wednesday.

During this period, a total of 54,433 individuals from 28 countries and regions were expelled under established procedures, the report said.

The remark was made during an event on Tuesday to mark the 60th anniversary of Myanmar Police Force Day by the chairman of Myanmar’s State Administration Council, Min Aung Hlaing.

He also said the establishment of a network of Border Liaison Offices (BLOs) with five neighbouring countries was intended to obtain information in advance and effectively combat cross-border crimes.

He also urged holding BLOs meetings to facilitate timely information sharing and exchange, the report added.
