Indonesia says there has been scant progress on an agreed peace plan.
JAKARTA: Southeast Asian leaders strongly condemned violence and attacks on civilians in Myanmar at a summit today, directly blaming the ruling junta, with host Indonesia saying there had been scant progress on an agreed peace plan.
Diplomatic attempts to solve the crisis have been fruitless, with the junta ignoring the five-point peace plan agreed with Asean members two years ago as well as international criticism, and refusing to engage with its opponents. “The conclusion is that there is no significant progress in the implementation of the five-point consensus,” Indonesian foreign minister Retno Marsudi told reporters.
Thailand has held its own bilateral meetings with the junta and deposed democracy leader Suu Kyi in recent months, further dividing the bloc.
