📌📌 3. U Kyaw Moe Tun urged the international community to scrutinize the Myanmar military’s attempts to build a nuclear reactor


Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, Permanent Representative of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to the United Nations, said this at the thematic discussion on Nuclear Weapons of the First Committee of the 78th Session of the General Assembly, held on October 17, 2023. It stated:

“Successive military leaders of Myanmar have harbored the idea of building a nuclear reactor, and the current military junta has stoked this ambition further again, to which the international community should scrutinize.

The situation in Myanmar is totally heart-breaking and unspeakable tragedy. Using the fighter jets, munitions, heavy artillery and associated technologies, assisted by and imported from certain countries, the military junta is brutally committing atrocities amounting to crimes against humanity. Here, I give emphasis once more that the comprehensive arms embargoes against the junta is the only way to stop their brutalities against the people. Accordingly, I urge the member states to stop selling of weapons and military technologies to the inhumane military.

Myanmar reaffirms its full commitment on nuclear disarmament and total elimination of nuclear weapons. We will continue to work towards our shared goal of building a world free of nuclear weapons. In doing so, we have submitted our annual resolution titled “Nuclear Disarmament” this year. We would like to underline that the draft resolution contains no substantive amendments, only technical updates. It aims to foster peace and security by advocating for comprehensive disarmament, through collective action and cooperation.

We express our sincere appreciation towards member states for their cosponsorship and support on this draft resolution.”
