ASEAN FMs view Thailand’s role in Myanmar as “positive”

[webfact]

Foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), winding up their meeting in Jakarta on Thursday, reiterated condemnation of the ongoing violence in Myanmar and welcomed Thailand’s role in trying to resolve the crisis as being “a positive development.”

 

Amid reports of divergent views among ASEAN members on the crisis, the foreign ministers reaffirmed their unity and reiterated their adherence to the so-called five-point consensus in dealing with the situation in Myanmar.

 

The foreign ministers said in the joint communique, issued at the end of the meeting, that they were briefed by Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai on “Thailand’s recent activities in Myanmar, which a number of ASEAN Member States viewed as a positive development.”

 

Don told his ASEAN counterparts on Wednesday that he recently visited Myanmar, during which he met Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi who called for a dialogue among the parties in conflict.  Don was the first foreign dignitary allowed to see Myanmar’s democracy icon after she was arrested following the military coup in early 2021.

No doubt with 2 corrupt junta's in both countries they've been paid handsomely to come up with such nonsense.

The truth is that Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia are extremely angry about the caretaker government's appeasement of the Burmese junta after it failed to implement even a scrap of the plan agreed with ASEAN. Only the dictatorial members Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are pleased with it.
