Summary

Prime Minister Ardern stated that NZ is to withhold all high-level communication with Myanmar.

Myanmar is under the state of military coup since 1 February 2020.

NZ foreign minister said with several of its international partners, the situation in Myanmar shall be kept a track of.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made her stance about Myanmar clear at the press conference held post the cabinet session. As revealed by Nanaia Mahuta the foreign minister, there is going to be some major changes in the way New Zealand conducts itself with Myanmar.

New Zealand has withheld all high-level communication with Myanmar. NZ would be enforcing a travel ban on Myanmar’s army leaders after the previous week’s coup.

Myanmar fell under military coup on the February 1, 2020, under the leadership of Min Aung Hlaing, the commander in chief. He said that the constitution could be cancelled if laws are not followed appropriately.

NZ will also make sure that its aid programme (valued ~NZ$42 million amid 2018-2021) does not consist of projects that are produced with or benefit, the military government.

Ardern is of the view that while NZ is devastated to see what is happening in Myanmar, they shall do what they can from New Zealand.

The military takeover is criticised by New Zealand and it demanded a quick release for the leaders- President U Win Myint and Aung San Suu Kyi, the counsellor of Myanmar. New Zealand further appealed that the civil rule should return to the country with an immediate effect.

With people protesting in Wellington against the military coup in Myanmar, there was need for the government to give out a quick plan of action in order to diffuse the situation.

In a statement given out by Mahuta, it was revealed with several of its international partners, the situation in Myanmar shall be kept a track of. Further, NZ supports the statements given out by the United Nations Security Council and the G7, in which they have criticised the current turn of events and strongly condemn the Military Coup.
