The joint statement expressed deep concern about Myanmar and called for the release of all political prisoners, the establishment of constructive dialogue and a transition to an inclusive, federal democratic system.
Why
The junta foreign ministry said in a statement that Myanmar “seeks understanding, support and constructive cooperation of the international community to the government’s efforts to build a union based on democracy and federalism as well as condemnation of terrorism in all its forms to ensure peace and stability and development in Myanmar.”
The regime has imposed death sentences on over 150 people. “But the statement said it granted amnesty for 62,818 inmates and commuted 59 death sentences to life imprisonment,” said the report.
Despite the joint statement, New Delhi has not yet officially condemned Myanmar’s military generals since their February 2021 coup overthrowing a democratically elected government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy.
India is also one of the few countries maintaining ties with the junta regime. New Delhi has offered to assist in an election proposed by the junta, which western countries have dismissed as a sham.
