“All members during the working launch gave their full support to Indonesia’s approach in addressing the situation in Myanmar,” he said.
During the meeting, the Foreign Ministers agreed, among other things, to urge significant progress in implementing the 5PCs for an inclusive national dialogue in Myanmar.
That inclusive national dialogue is the key to finding a peaceful resolution to the situation in Myanmar.
Conducive situations must be created for inclusive dialogue by reducing violence and ensuring the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance.
