NUG Statement on the Terrorist Military Junta’s Expulsion of the Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste from Myanmar
Description:
"1. It has been brought to our attention that the illegitimate terrorist military junta that does not
represent the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, has compelled the Charge d'Affaires of
the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, who is representing the State of
Timor-Leste and its people in Myanmar and exercising his diplomatic responsibilities, to
permanently leave from Myanmar prior to 1st September 2023.
2. Being an illegal organization that has unlawfully taken control of the country’s power
through the use of force, the junta does not hold any authority to make decisions concerning
the international diplomatic relations of the State. The right to decision making on such
matter rests solely with the people of Myanmar and the legitimate government duly elected
by them. The expulsion of Timorese Charge d'Affaires from Myanmar is a customary,
unlawful and inappropriate act of the illegitimate military junta.
3. We deeply respect and appreciate the position of Timor-Leste that values fundamental
democratic policies and standards, the rule of law and human dignity. This stands as an
exemplary model for others to follow.
4. We respectfully state that the Timor-Leste's steadfast stance as a good friend will always be
deeply remembered and our sincere gratitude will be permanently inscribed in the hearts of
the National Unity Government and the people of Myanmar.
5. We appeal to the various governments of the international community which respect and
value democratic principles, human rights values and standards and embrace
humanitarianism, to stand in solidarity with the people of Myanmar, like Timor-Leste has
done, and provide support to Myanmar for its return to the path of democracy..."
