2/2 Canada continues to call for her unconditional release and the release of all remaining political prisoners, an immediate end to the violence and to establish a meaningful, credible and inclusive dialogue for the people of Myanmar.
1/2 Canada acknowledges reports that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was moved to house arrest after she was detained by the Myanmar military in 2021. We call on authorities to allow her access to her legal counsel, medical care and her family.
🌼Thingyan is a moment that can allow space for steps that reduce violence and build confidence toward a more peaceful and prosperous New Year. Canada stands with those working towards peace and an inclusive democratic future.
🌼On the occasion of Thingyan, Myanmar New Year, the Embassy of Canada to Myanmar extends our best wishes to the people of Myanmar. We honour the courage and resilience of the Myanmar people and their enduring hope for peace during these challenging times.
🌼We continue to condemn the ongoing violence and note with grave concern increased air strikes on civilians, schools, hospitals and places of worship, continued restrictions on fundamental freedoms, and ongoing detention of political prisoners.
This #WorldHealthDay, we’re proud to support critical health care for communities across Myanmar through our partnership with the Access to Health Fund.
For families in #Myanmar’s Shan State, reaching a clinic was once a long, uncertain journey. Clinics were far away, often lacking basic equipment, clean water & electricity.
Today, new health centres are changing that, helping communities access care when it matters most.

One year ago, a 7.7‑magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing immense loss of life and destruction. Canada responded with $10 million in humanitarian assistance to meet urgent needs. One year on, we honour the lives lost and stand with communities rebuilding with resilience.
Elections in #Myanmar will take place on Dec 28, Jan 11 and Jan 25. Avoid demonstrations and large gatherings. Expect checkpoints, road closures, curfews, and increased security. Follow the instructions of local authorities. More info: https://t.co/iDl8hmNANW
Canada condemns the #Myanmar military’s escalating violence, including reports of the horrific air strike that destroyed the Mrauk-U hospital in Rakhine, killing more than 30 and injuring 80.
On Human Rights Day, Canada reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide. In Myanmar, these universal rights continue to be gravely violated.
