In solving the issue of Myanmar, our government emphasizes the political consensus of the people of Myanmar, and I would like to reiterate that our government wants to cooperate with ASEAN,” said the Acting President.

“Military affairs have become an integral part of the process of revolutionizing the military council and establishing a federal democracy union. Military affairs are important at the moment. Another thing is that the military council’s attempt to deceive the international community and the public is now at the stage where its results are no longer successful,” he said.

The ambassador stated that after the illegal military coup, there were 84 people on death row who were subject to the lawless killings by the military junta.
In addition, the ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun also stated that the Myanmar military is using the death penalty based on discriminatory laws that target a person’s fundamental rights.
