Those who declined attending the talks hosted by Thailand were Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore – the Myanmar junta's most vocal critics in the ASEAN.
BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand hosted regional talks on Thursday, December 22, to discuss the crisis in army-run Myanmar including rare international appearances by junta ministers, but several key members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations did not attend despite invitations.
No concrete results were reported from the discussions, which Kanchana said focused on humanitarian assistance and finding ways to implement an ASEAN peace plan known as the Five-Point Consensus. “The consultation was a non-ASEAN meeting but intended to complement ASEAN’s ongoing collective efforts to find a peaceful political resolution,” Kanchana said in a statement.
“Therefore, the Myanmar delegation urged ASEAN member states to denounce terrorist activities of NUG, PDF and to discourage any moral, material and financial support for the terrorist organizations,” it said.
