马来西亚向缅甸12月28日的投票派出选举观察员, Malaysia to send election observers to Myanmar’s December 28 polls amid ongoing conflict and boycotts.

马来西亚将派遣选举观察员前往缅甸, 在马来西亚外交部长穆罕默德·哈桑(Mohamad Hasan)与军政府领导人明昂·克莱安(Min Aung Hlaing)在内比都(Naypyidaw)进行会谈后, Malaysia will send election observers to Myanmar for its delayed national polls, set to begin December 28, following talks between Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan and junta leader Min Aung Hlaing in Naypyidaw. 军政府称投票是迈向和解的一步,但国际观察员和反对派团体认为这是使军事统治合法化的举动。 The military government calls the vote a step toward reconciliation, but international observers and opposition groups view it as a move to legitimize military rule. 预计57个政党的5 000多名候选人将竞选,尽管许多被赶下台的立法者和武装抵抗团体正在抵制。 Over 5,000 candidates from 57 parties are expected to run, though many ousted lawmakers and armed resistance groups are boycotting. 马来西亚外交部确认了有关选举和制止暴力的努力的讨论,但没有详细说明观察团的细节。 Malaysia’s foreign ministry confirmed discussions on the elections and efforts to halt violence, but did not detail the observer mission. 国内冲突继续损害投票的公信力。 The civil conflict continues to undermine the vote’s credibility.
