JAKARTA - Foreign ministers in Jakarta for the first Asean ministerial meeting under Indonesia’s chairmanship attended a special working lunch on Friday “dedicated to discuss the Myanmar issue in an open, in-depth, and frank manner as one family”.
The ministers agreed that the significant progress on the implementation of these commitments would pave the way for an inclusive national dialogue in Myanmar, which is key to a peaceful resolution, Ms Retno said. The first is to engage all stakeholders to facilitate possibilities of an inclusive national dialogue.
Mr Widodo had told Reuters in an interview: “This is a matter of approach. We have the experience – here in Indonesia, the situation was the same. This experience can be addressed, how Indonesia began its democracy.” “Among the messages... conveyed to the parties is that they have to have the courage to talk and have inclusive dialogue,” he said. The office will also establish space for humanitarian assistance.
