Countries and international organisations should practise and strictly adhere to the fundamental principles of respecting the sovereignty, equality, and non-interference in internal affairs of other states in the conduct of international relations.
As regards the present cases, the incumbent Government which has been vested the three pillars of powers and authorities by the State Constitution (2008), has effectively taken legal actions against terrorist acts in accordance with the existing laws. The Ministry cautions that such concerns and criticisms on the Myanmar government’s legal actions could be tantamount to interfering the internal affairs of the country and indirectly abetting terrorism. Therefore, the Ministry strongly protests and rejects such one-sided statements that neglect the deaths of numerous innocent lives and injuries as well as destruction of education, health and economic infrastructures.
