Since the coup, the UK has imposed 11 tranches of sanctions targeting the military's leadership, businesses and associates. We regularly engage international partners, including the Republic of Korea and Japan, to share information on UK sanctions designations and the broader situation in Myanmar. It would be inappropriate to speculate on future targets by either ourselves or our partners.
