Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta has condemned the executions in Myanmar of four opposition leaders and pro-democracy activists.
She says it was a barbaric act by Myanmar’s military regime.
“It’s tragic things have gotten to this point. New Zealand has long favoured a diplomatic pathway, de-escalation of violence, a return to democracy, and those have been all the reinforcing messages we have attributed towards the situation in Myanmar,” Ms Mahuta says.
New Zealand backs efforts by ASEAN, the Association of South East Asian Nations, to find a solution.
