Some foreign media recently reported and broadcast that some Rohinjas were attempting to illegally enter Thailand in motorized boats from the sea; that the Royal Thai Navy arrested them and forced them back to sea; and that some of them were from Myanmar.

The Rohinja is not included in over 100 national races of the Union of Myanmar.

Moreover, a statement released yesterday by Thailand did not mention that those who made attempt to illegally enter Thailand from the sea were from Myanmar.

Nevertheless, the departments concerned of the Government of the Union of Myanmar will take necessary measures in connection with the above matter.
