KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says that Myanmar’s military leadership has been engaging and cooperating with Asean, as the bloc continues to push for the implementation of its five-point consensus (5PC) on the country’s ongoing crisis.
Delivering his opening remarks at the East Asia Summit (EAS) today, Anwar said Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing had shown some willingness to engage with Asean during their meetings.
He said the junta leader had agreed to Asean’s conditions for an immediate ceasefire and cessation of bombings, as well as to allow unhindered humanitarian access to Malaysia’s field hospital in Myanmar, which serves all communities regardless of ethnicity or political affiliation.
