<p>We agree that the interests of the Myanmar military and companies linked to it
are deeply entrenched across Myanmar's economy. But targeted sanctions on specific
commercial entities are difficult, as those entities are not always wholly controlled
by the military. Any decision to impose sanctions on such entities would have to be
carefully considered. Targeting companies or whole sectors could disrupt Myanmar’s
financial system, harm economic development across Myanmar and inadvertently harm
vulnerable people. We continue to discuss with international partners whether we can
add further targeted sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations
in a way that minimises the impact on the people of Myanmar.</p>
