Khit (NP News) - Nov 12
Myanmar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released an objection statement on the #ASEAN leaders’ Review and Decision on the Implementation of the # five-point_consensus which was issued after the 40th and 41st ASEAN Summits.
The 40th and 41st ASEAN Summits was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on 11 November 2022.
Myanmar has already objected the ASEAN’s invitation of non-political representative to attend the meetings which, indeed, contradicts the Article 5 of the ASEAN Charter.
The issued ASEAN leaders’ review and decision on the implementation of the five-point consensus did not factually reflect the on-ground situations that actually happened in Myanmar.
As a responsible member state of ASEAN, Myanmar has been constructively cooperating with the Special Envoy of the ASEAN Chair in implementing the ASEAN five-point consensus. To achieve ever-lasting peace and stability in every corner of the country, the Government has already declared the unilateral ceasefire and the Head of State Administration Council is holding several rounds of peace dialogues with Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) including in facilitating the delivery of broader humanitarian assistance to the population, without any discrimination, in cooperation with the AHA Centre. Therefore, Myanmar is disappointed that ASEAN ignores the notable progress made by Myanmar in implementation of five-point consensus.
The Ministry also strongly objects the inappropriate usage to refer Myanmar government and Tatmadaw (Myanmar Military) that take responsibility of the state in accordance the Constitution.
