JAKARTA — Asean foreign ministers on Thursday (July 13) condemned violence in Myanmar again and repeated support for a peace plan ignored by its junta rulers, as the divided bloc struggled to find unity over the protracted crisis.
Myanmar has been ravaged by deadly violence since a military coup ousted former pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's government in February 2021, unleashing a bloody crackdown on dissent.
"We... reaffirmed our united position that the five-point consensus remains our main reference to address the political crisis in Myanmar," it said. Asean chair Indonesia had on Wednesday urged a political solution to the crisis at two-day foreign minister talks. Thailand has made its own initiative to speak directly with the Myanmar junta and other actors in the conflict.
Mr Don Pramudwinai said he met the Nobel laureate on Sunday in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw and that she was in"good health" and"encouraged dialogue".
