The New Zealand Government is deeply concerned by the February 2021 military coup in Myanmar. New Zealand calls for the return to civilian government and the release of all those arbitrarily detained.

On 9 February 2021, the New Zealand Government announced a package of restrictions to guide Aotearoa New Zealand’s engagement with Myanmar following the coup. These restrictions include the suspension of bilateral high level political and defence engagement with Myanmar; directing Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials to ensure New Zealand’s aid programme to Myanmar does not include projects that are delivered with, or benefit, the military; and finalising targeted travel bans on senior Myanmar military figures.
