The UK fully supports a peaceful, inclusive and democratic future for Myanmar. We work closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), supporting their leadership on responding to the Myanmar crisis through their Five Point Consensus. We meet regularly with a range of pro-democracy actors, including the National Unity Government, to amplify their voice on the international stage, including at the UN Security Council, where we are the pen-holder on Myanmar. We continue to work with partners, including the EU, US and Canada, to impose sanctions against the military regime, denying them credibility and calling for a return to democracy.
