A senior officer of China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS) explained that the repatriated individuals had been deceived by criminal organisations into illegally crossing borders, ultimately becoming stranded in Thailand. Their families have repeatedly sought government assistance for their return, the officer said, stressing that the repatriation reflects China's commitment to protecting its citizens' legitimate rights.

The officer further emphasised that the repatriated individuals' legal rights were fully protected throughout the process, and that they will receive assistance in reintegrating into their families and society once the necessary legal procedures are completed.

MPS highly valued the recent joint operations between China and Thailand in combating transnational crimes, including telecommunications and internet fraud.

Both countries have pledged to expand their law enforcement cooperation, with the goal of better safeguarding citizens' legitimate rights and ensuring regional security and stability, according to the officer./.
