Liputan6.com, jakarta – A long political crisis in Myanmar returned to the center of attention of the diplomatic agenda of ASEAN.
In the 58th series of the Ministry of the Ministry of ASEAN (AMM), which will be held on July 8-11, 2025, the ASEAN member countries plan to discuss recent events in Myanmar, including the implementation of the consensus of five points that were agreed.
According to the director of the Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, Sidharto R. Sureodipuro, Malaysia, there will be a party that made an official briefing at the forum. Currently, Malaysia serves the appointed party to hold the mandate of a special ambassador Asean for Myanmar, replacing the position of Indonesia, which served in the previous period.
“As for Myanmar, a briefing from Malaysia will be held as a party managing the mandate Special messengerThis field was a decision of the summit, and on how it is later considered, this will depend on the discussion at the meeting, ”Sidharto told the press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia on Thursday (3/7/2025).
Since the military coup of Myanmar in February 2021, Asean has encountered a serious dilemma: between maintaining the principles of not interference, which form the basis of organizations and moral duties to respond to the crisis of mankind and politics in one of its members.
Although ASEAN agreed on a consensus with five or five consensus points (5 %) in 2021, the implementation is still far from the expectations. The military regime of Myanmar did not demonstrate a serious obligation to stop violence or open the dialogue space with opposition groups.
Indonesia, which previously held the post of chairman of ASEAN in 2023, took progressive steps, without inviting the political representatives of Myanmar at a high -level meeting, as a form of symbolic pressure. This attitude caused a strong reaction from Nipiid.
