ASEAN reaffirms engagement with Myanmar, seeks to advance peace plan
There will be “no easing” of ASEAN’s approach to Myanmar, Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro says.
ASEAN leaders have reiterated their commitment to maintaining engagement with Myanmar while adhering to a five-point peace plan, according to Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Speaking at the ASEAN summit in Manila, Marcos emphasized the bloc's five-point consensus, which aims to bring an immediate halt to violence, initiate constructive dialogue, provide humanitarian assistance, and facilitate mediation.
The 11-member association reaffirmed its stance on Myanmar's exclusion from high-level meetings since the 2021 coup, as the military-backed government seeks normalization of relations.
