The Informal Consultation aims to strengthen coordination and cooperation among the members of the ASEAN Troika in relation to the implementation of the Five-Points Consensus (5PC) and the ASEAN Leaders’ Review and Decision on the 5PC, towards achieving a peaceful and sustainable resolution in Myanmar.
For the Extended Informal Consultation, the ASEAN Troika will be joined by Foreign Ministers and representatives from other ASEAN Member States (AMS). The Extended Informal Consultation will focus on ASEAN’s overall efforts and the way forward in the implementation of the 5PC in addressing the crisis in Myanmar.
During these meetings, Malaysia will share the approach that it plans to undertake in addressing the conflict in Myanmar as the 2025 ASEAN Chair. The consultations will be chaired by the Foreign Minister of Lao PDR as the current Chair of ASEAN.
These consultations continue to highlight ASEAN’s pivotal role in addressing the crisis in Myanmar as well as ensuring regional peace and security.
