“We were able to prevent and reduce the sales of weapons and ammunition to Junta regime and would continue to do so. Singapore has reduced its support for the military council by about 90 percent. As Vietnam is major seller of jet fuel to Myanmar, we would urge Vietnam to sanction Junta regime,” said (Mr.) Tom Andrews.
