The National Unity Government released a statement on 17 December regarding the adoption of the Credentials Committee Report by consensus at the 80th Session United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on 12 December, allowing Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun to continue serving as Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

The text is as follows

Regarding the representation of Myanmar, the Credentials Committee report addresses the matter in paragraphs 8 and 10 and the Chair of the Committee noted that, having received two competing sets of credentials for Myanmar, the Committee proposed to defer its decision on the credentials of the representatives of Myanmar. The Committee adopted this proposal without a vote. A copy of the report of the Credentials Committee (A/80/547), as approved by the United Nations General Assembly, is attached herewith.

Consequently, Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, Permanent Representative of Myanmar to the United Nations, and the Myanmar delegation continue to participate in, attend, and deliberate at the Plenary and Main Committees meetings of the 80th UNGA, meetings of the UN main bodies, and other related High-level meetings, in consistent with the practice of preceding years.

Furthermore, the Permanent Representative remains steadfast in his commitment to raising, through the UN platforms, the voices of the people of Myanmar regarding the on-ground situation.

He will continue to advocate the people’s efforts and to get necessary action for putting an end to the military dictatorship and its unlawful military coup, and ensuring international justice and accountability for the terrorist military junta and its affiliates, who continue to perpetrate relentless atrocities against the suffering people of Myanmar.

During the 79th Session of the UNGA, the Permanent Representative delivered a total of 76 statements at the General Assembly Plenary Meetings and its Main Committees meetings, the UN Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, other high-level meetings and the UN Agencies Executive Board meetings.

During the Main Part of the 80th Session of the UNGA (from 9 September to 31 December 2025), a total of 48 statements have been delivered thus far, comprising 42 statements at Main Committee meetings, 4 at Plenary meetings, and 2 at other high-level meetings.
