Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, confirmed that Myanmar will maintain its voting rights in the UN General Assembly through the end of 2026. This status was secured after the National Unity Government (NUG) assumed responsibility for settling the country’s membership dues, totalling approximately US$1,000,000 since the 2021 military coup. In an interview with PVTV, the Ambassador explained that minimum required payments have been made on three separate occasions to prevent Myanmar from falling into arrears.
