In February 2021, New Zealand suspended high-level bilateral relations with Myanmar following the [[2021 Myanmar coup d'état]] and joined other Western governments in rejecting the new military-led government and has called for the restoration of civilian-led rule. In addition, aid projects were diverted away from the [[Tatmadaw]] and a travel ban was imposed on Myanmar's military leaders.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mahuta |first1=Nanaia |title=New Zealand takes measures against Myanmar following military coup |url=https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-zealand-takes-measures-against-myanmar-following-military-coup |website=Beehive.govt.nz |publisher=[[New Zealand Government]] |access-date=9 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209102153/https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-zealand-takes-measures-against-myanmar-following-military-coup |archive-date=9 February 2021 |date=9 February 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Young |first1=Audrey |title=Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta speaks at Myanmar democracy rally |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/foreign-minister-nanaia-mahuta-speaks-at-myanmar-democracy-rally/TX47NMGGMOZN63CWUCKCKK6SEA/ |access-date=9 February 2021 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=9 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209102334/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/foreign-minister-nanaia-mahuta-speaks-at-myanmar-democracy-rally/TX47NMGGMOZN63CWUCKCKK6SEA/ |archive-date=9 February 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

In April 2024, the New Zealand Government permitted mid-level members of the military junta to participate in the [[ASEAN]]-New Zealand Dialogue meetings in [[Wellington]]. [[Prime Minister of New Zealand|Prime Minister]] [[Christopher Luxon]] justified the invitation, citing ASEAN's policy of allowing non-political Myanmar officials to participate in official ASEAN functions. This was a reversal of the previous [[Sixth Labour Government of New Zealand|Labour Government]]'s policy of blocking Myanmar officials from participating in two ASEAN study tours of New Zealand.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sachdeva |first1=Sam |title=Myanmar military invite to NZ sparks outcry |url=https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/04/03/myanmar-military-invite-to-nz-sparks-outcry/ |access-date=23 April 2024 |work=[[Newsroom (website)|Newsroom]] |date=3 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240412064625/https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/04/03/myanmar-military-invite-to-nz-sparks-outcry/ |archive-date=12 April 2024|url-status=live}}</ref>
