Myanmar Ambassador Reaffirms Commitment to the UN Charter
Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, signed a commemorative poster reaffirming commitment to the UN Charter during celebrations marking the Charter’s 80th anniversary at UN Headquarters on June 26.
The signing ceremony brought together representatives of UN member states, along with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock and Secretary-General António Guterres. Speakers emphasized that the UN Charter remains the foundation for international cooperation and urged member states to work together under the theme “Better Together, One Charter, One Future.”
Student Unions Call for Political Solutions to Internal Conflicts
Six student unions urged revolutionary organizations to settle internal disagreements through political dialogue rather than military force.
The groups warned that armed clashes among resistance organizations undermine unity at a time when cooperation is essential. They stressed that the common enemy remains the military junta and that internal fighting only weakens the broader democratic movement. The statement also called for building a united coalition based on the interests of the people.
