The Australian government has not ruled out imposing further sanctions on Burma (also known as Myanmar) after the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States jointly placed sanctions on seven individuals and two entities connected to the Burmese military junta on the anniversary of its coup.
“Australia’s autonomous sanctions regime already includes a longstanding arms embargo against Myanmar, as well as targeted sanctions against five individuals with direct responsibility for atrocities in Rakhine State,” a spokesperson for Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) told The Epoch Times.
