‘We must press’ Myanmar to stop violence, Blinken tells Asean FMTNews FMTWorld
JAKARTA: US secretary of state Antony Blinken told Southeast Asian ministers today that Washington and regional states must pressure Myanmar’s ruling junta to put down its arms and return to democratic rule.
“In Myanmar, we must press the military regime to stop the violence, to implement Asean’s five-point consensus, to support a return to democratic governance,” he told Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers ahead of talks in Jakarta. They have been barred from Asean’s high-level meetings but Thailand hosted the junta’s foreign minister last month for controversial “informal talks” that further split the bloc.
