Important new analysis from MyPACK Research Fellow Isabella Aung on the urgent need for Canada to step up its response to the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. She highlights the gap between Canada’s policy promises in its Indo-Pacific Strategy and the lack of concrete action, including the overdue appointment of a Special Envoy. The brief emphasizes the security consequences of the war, the dire humanitarian situation, and offers key recommendations for Canada to effectively support peace and stability in the region.
