Topic: 2025 – Situation in Myanmar
Country: India
Delegate Name: Bobby Young
The current situation in Myanmar can only be described as devastating. India is incredibly saddened by the brutal violence happening in a country who we have maintained a well standing relationship with for so long. India has held a long standing relationship with the government of Myanamr, and the start of this conflict, India had begun development on the Kaladan Multi Modal Transit and Transport Project which is a trade network that connects India and Myanmar by sea and land. The conflict has caused the development of this project to be slowed down due to the violence caused by both the Junta and the resistance groups. Despite our long standing history with the Junta, India condemns all violence committed by both parties in Myanmar, and we hope that in this committee we are able to conduct a resolution that creates peace amongst the parties involved, allows for the persistence of global economic interests in Mynamar, provides indiscriminate humanitarian aid to all persons affected by the conflict, enables opportunity for discussion and compromise amongst the Juntas and rebel groups to come to peace, and ensures protections for Myanmar’s neighbors so that this violence does not spill across international borders.
India has long held relations with Myanmar’s Junta; however, as previously mentioned, India condemns all violence committed by the Junta, and India has opened discussions with Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAO)’s and the NUG in order to begin acting as a mediator. India also condemns this violence committed by these EAO’s and NUG’s. India hopes to maintain relations with both of these parties and hopefully continue to act as a mediator to ensure peace is made between them. India also hopes to preserve our interests in Myanmar, which is our development of the Kaladan Multi Modal Transit and Transport Project which is an initiative put in place to allow India and Myanmar to continue our economic interests with one another via trade by waterways and can allow for further stimulation of the struggling Myanmar economy that has caused mass famine and electrical outages. As previously mentioned, India also hopes to provide humanitarian aid to assist those who may not have access to food, water, electricity and other amenities through the collaboration and contributions from other nations in this committee.
With the further development of the Kaladin Multi Transit, India’s affairs on the Myanmar border have been ever increasing, and it is a top priority for India to ensure the protection of Indians working on the system along the Myanmar maritime border, as well as our physical land border, as well as the protection of Burmese citizens who are contributing to the system’s development efforts in Myanmar, who are still working in a warzone, to develop an international trade network that greatly benefits our region. Lastly, India believes that the most beneficial way for all parties with affairs in Myanmar to be satisfied is through conversation. India is more than willing to mediate and host discussions between the SAC, EAO’s, NUG, the nation of India, and other countries who hold economic interests in Myanmar. Overall India is looking to cooperate with and mediate debate with all parties involved, provide humanitarian aid to all people harmed by the war, and protect global economic interests in Myanmar.
