“China is a neighbour of our country and is also a country that has had good relations with our country in the past. Therefore, the NUG will get along with China and cooperate with it. It is important for the future of Myanmar.”
At present, China does not officially recognize the terrorist military council, and it has urged them not to ignore public opinion.
4. The U.N. General Assembly approves the continuation of incumbent U.N. Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun representing the NUG Myanmar for another year
On December 16, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun told PVTV that the U.N. General Assembly has approved continuing him in his position as Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the U.N.
“It was unanimously approved,” said the ambassador, and he also expressed his thanks as follows:
“This afternoon, the Plenary Session of the U.N. General Assembly unanimously approved the report of the Credentials Committee [which deferred action on the junta’s request]. This approval authorizes me to continue, as Myanmar’s permanent representative, to be able to carry out processes that should be carried out by a member state, as I did last year. As a result, as a permanent representative, I will be able to continue informing the international community through the United Nations front, as I did last year, about the voice and will of the people of Myanmar, and continue to do what I can for the benefit of the people of Myanmar. So, I would like to express my gratitude to the UN General Assembly for unanimously approving the Credential Committee’s report. I would also like to report here that I will continue to serve for the benefit of the people of Myanmar.
Thank you very much.”

The U.N. Credentials Committee agreed to defer the consideration of the representation of Myanmar, which means that the incumbent ambassador, U Kyaw Moe Tun, will remain on the seat and the U.N. General Assembly held today has approved the report of the Credentials Committee.
The nine-member U.N. Credentials Committee includes Russia, which has good relations with the terrorist military council, and China, which often uses a veto at the U.N. for Myanmar military dictators.
