The Singapore Foreign Minister urged that ousted Myanmar civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi be released from prison.
Dr Balakrishnan noted that Singapore has made such calls before, and that negotiations for stability in Myanmar must involve Ms Suu Kyi, who is currently serving a 33-year sentence in Myanmar’s capital of Naypyitaw.
Since Ms Suu Kyi was incarcerated 2½ years ago, she had been in isolation without any access to the media, but remains the “key pivot” for any solution to the Myanmar crisis, added Dr Balakrishnan. Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said on Friday that Indonesia’s engagements with all stakeholders in Myanmar have received full support, not only from Asean countries but also partner countries.
A joint communique issued late on Thursday said that a number of Asean countries viewed Thailand’s recent activities in Myanmar as a positive development, but also reiterated that any efforts should be “in line with 5PC and in coordination with the Chair of Asean”.
