In his statement, Chairman U Aung Kyi Nyunt said: “The terrorist military has clearly neglected all calls to return Myanmar to its best situation by the international community. It is now clear that words cannot stop the brutality of the military junta. Therefore, I would like to request your cooperation for more effective actions. I also request that an emergency meeting be convened by the United Nations or that a decision be made by the UN Security Council regarding the current situation. Adopt a concrete resolution to eliminate all forms of military’s violence. Dear ASEAN Leaders, please set practical work plans in the forthcoming Summit.”
