Pemimpin Asean akan kaji semula pelaksanaan 5PC berkait Myanmar

The leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) will review the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) regarding Myanmar at the 49th Asean Summit in Manila, according to Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro. The review document titled "Asean Leaders’ Review and Decision on the Implementation of the Five-Point Consensus" will examine the situation in Myanmar and assess progress made in the implementation of the 5PC since the last review.

The Asean bloc repeatedly urges the consensus to be fully and effectively implemented. The leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to the 5PC since 2021, which calls for an end to violence, a multiparty dialogue, and humanitarian assistance. Lazaro also announced that Myanmar has established an Asean Assistance Committee, and the group hopes that this establishment will lead to meaningful progress in the implementation of the 5PC.

Regarding humanitarian assistance, Lazaro, who is also the Asean special correspondent for Myanmar, mentioned that the latest one-month assistance operation benefiting over 11,000 households in Kayin state and northern and southern Shan state focused on providing food, family kits, and personal hygiene kits. She added that during the mission, Asean Monitoring Teams, along with representatives from Asean member state embassies and Japan, distributed rice, family kits, and personal hygiene items.

Throughout her tenure as Asean special correspondent, Lazaro will continue to advocate for expanding access to assistance, particularly for the most vulnerable communities and regions. As Asean Chairperson for 2026, the Philippines will host the 49th Asean Summit and Summit on Security Cooperation in Manila from November 16 to 17.

Philippine Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will preside over the delegation from Malaysia during the summit.
