Yangon, Myanmar - Myanmar's junta on Wednesday criticised an ASEAN statement condemning military violence and the targeting of civilians
Yangon, Myanmar – Myanmar’s junta on Wednesday criticised an ASEAN statement condemning military violence and the targeting of civilians as “one-sided”, a day after it said it would not take up its upcoming chairmanship of the bloc.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations has led fruitless attempts to defuse the crisis, with a five-point peace plan agreed with the generals largely moribund and the junta refusing to engage with its opponents. It called on ASEAN to “strictly adhere to the provisions and fundamental principles of the ASEAN Charter, especially non-interference in the internal affairs of the member states.”
The Philippines will chair instead, as the bloc wrestles with how to engage with the junta, whose leaders are banned from high-level ASEAN meetings.
