ASEAN Pushes for Peace in Myanmar
ASEAN ministers meet with Myanmar counterpart to revive stalled peace plan
ASEAN ministers are pushing for peace in Myanmar, with Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow supporting "calibrated engagement" to implement the "five-point consensus" plan, as reported by The Jakarta Post. The plan aims to end the war between the military and a coalition of pro-democracy rebels and ethnic minority armed groups, which has killed an estimated 100,000 people. Top diplomats from the 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations met with their Myanmar counterpart on Sunday, marking the first in-person meeting since the coup, in an effort to kick-start the peace initiative, according to thejakartapost.com.
