On behalf of the United States, I extend best wishes and solidarity to the people of Myanmar as you mark Thingyan, Myanmar’s New Year.
Thingyan is a time for reflection, as well as an opportunity to look ahead toward a new year.
We will continue to support all those seeking an end to the crisis and striving for an inclusive, democratic future for Myanmar. We remain committed to international efforts to promote accountability for the regime’s coup and its abuses against civilians. The people of Myanmar have repeatedly demonstrated tremendous courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable suffering.
Despite the current conflict, may Thingyan’s spirit of renewal bring new hope to the people of Myanmar.
Editor's Note: This country is called Myanmar, not Burma as the United States continues to call it and WireNews has edited this press release to reflect the correct name of the country.
