Burmese and Thai labour officials held a high-level meeting on 7 May in Bangkok where they agreed to cooperate and provide full labour rights to Burmese migrants, with additional pledges to protect the estimated one to two million Burmese in Thailand from elements such as extortion and employment scams.
According to Min Hlaing, the chairman of the Myanmar Overseas Employment Services Association (MOESA), the meeting mainly focused on rights protection for Burmese migrant workers, specifically the formation of labour bodies in both countries to monitor and prevent abuses.
