“Asean passed the chairmanship to the Philippines for 2026, and not Myanmar, and we hope the Philippines will be leading the call to address the atrocities in Myanmar,” said Min in an interview with BusinessMirror on Tuesday. She also said that the number of Myanmar’s refugees fleeing over the last three years has ballooned to 6.5 million. These include 5 million in Thailand, around 500,000 in Malaysia and 1 million in Bangladesh. Other refugees may have also moved to other Asean countries.
