US Secretary of State Antony J Blinken on Monday said his country will continue to support the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar and those seeking an end to the crisis there and striving for an inclusive and democratic future..
In the face of the military regime's horrific campaign of widespread violence, the US remains committed to leading the international effort to hold the regime accountable for the coup and abuses against civilians, he said.
"On behalf of the people and government of the United States of America, I convey my best wishes to and solidarity" with the people of Myanmar as they mark the country's New Year, Thingyan, Blinken said.
Thingyan is a time of renewal and an opportunity to reflect on the values of peace and prosperity, to which the people of Myanmar aspire in their own lives and for their country, he said.
"At this difficult time, please accept our sincere regards for the people" of Myanmar, Blinken added.
