WASHINGTON - Singapore strongly condemns North Korea’s “reckless” missile and nuclear tests, and calls on it to avoid further provocative actions, said Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan.
In Myanmar’s Rakhine state, a humanitarian disaster had occurred in the wake of a terrorist attack and related acts of violence, he said. He visited Naypyitaw last week and had “a frank discussion” with de facto Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, he noted in his address to the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday (Sept 23) in New York.
Cautioning that the conflict had deep historical roots and could not be resolved overnight, he said: “Asean supports Myanmar seeking a long-term solution to restore stability. Singapore will work with Asean and Myanmar to extend humanitarian assistance to all affected communities.”
