The self-declared Shan government, which earlier this month claimed independence from Myanmar, is seeking recognition from the UN and several countries including Thailand, leaders of the rebel government said on Thursday.
"We are in the process of seeking recognition from a number of countries including the United Nations," said Hkun Hom, the self-proclaimed foreign minister of the Shan government.
On April 17, Shan Prince Surkhanpha, the son of Myanmar's first post-independence president Saopalong Sa Shwe Thaike, declared the Shan State of northeastern Myanmar independent and the establishment of a Shan government with himself as president.
