The Ministry of External Affairs’ official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We are concerned over the deteriorating situation in Myanmar which has direct implications for us.”
Myanmar's military regime says it will extend a state of emergency for another six months, state media reports, the day before the three-year anniversary of the coup that ousted the country's democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The 2022 U.N. Security Council resolution has not become the hoped-for on-ramp to stronger action, but rather the feeble peak of council activity on a country in harrowing crisis.
In war-torn Myanmar, an offensive launched in late October by an alliance of three ethnic minority rebel groups in the country's northern region has posed the biggest challenge to the military since the Feb. 1, 2021, coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government.
