"Regarding the rehabilitation of villages of our national races, for the national races who fled their homes, first of all they must go back to their places," he said. "National races" is a Myanmar term referring to members of officially recognised indigenous ethnic groups who make up the diverse nation. It's necessary to have control of our region with our national races," Min Aung Hlaing said. "We can't do anything if there are no people from our national races ... that is their rightful place." Min Aung Hlaing did not mention the return of refugees from Bangladesh.
