1. The National Unity Government condemns the military junta’s expulsion of Timorese diplomat from Myanmar, stating it is customary, unlawful, and inappropriate
On August 28, the National Unity Government issued a statement on the terrorist military junta’s expulsion of the Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of Timor-Leste from Myanmar.
The statement asserts that the military junta, as an illegal organisation that has unlawfully taken control of the country’s power through the use of force, lacks the authority to make decisions on international diplomatic relations, and that authority 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,” the NUG government said in the statement.
The National Unity Government expressed respect and appreciation for Timor-Leste’s position, which values fundamental democratic principles and standards, the rule of law, and human dignity, and lauded Timor-Leste as an outstanding model for others to follow.
