Myanmar is one of four partner countries in Asia receiving Norwegian development aid, according to the Norwegian Embassy in Yangon.

According to the embassy’s official website: “Globally it [Myanmar] is one out of ten partner countries for long-term development. However, following the 2021 coup, Norway needed to reassess our approach. The Norwegian government froze our direct bilateral projects with the government from 2021.”

According to the NUG it is building stronger diplomatic ties with other countries around the world.

As of 9 September 2022, the NUG had offices in the Czech Republic, England, Norway, France, South Korea, Japan, India, and Australia, according to Than Lwin Times, a Burmese online media outlet.
