JAKARTA - Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said that an inclusive national dialogue involving all parties is a priority to realize Myanmar's peace and stability, ensuring that Indonesia supports the creation of conduciveness and security to create dialogue.

This was conveyed by Foreign Minister Sugiono at the Diplomacy Dialogue on Myanmar meeting at The World Economic Forum's (WEF) Annual Meeting 2025 at Davos-Klosters, Switzerland on Wednesday.

"The continued internal conflict in the Land of a Thousand Pagodas raises concerns," said Foreign Minister Sugiono.

This is because the crisis that has been going on since 2021 also poses various other security threats, including the development of transnational crime and the proliferation of opium production in Myanmar.

"Inclusive national dialogue involving all stakeholders is a priority to realize sustainable peace and stability in Myanmar," said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Sugiono, in a statement from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as quoted on Thursday, January 23.

"Indonesia continues to be committed to supporting the creation of a conducive situation and a safe space for the realization of dialogue," said Foreign Minister Sugiono.

The Foreign Minister also emphasized that the issue of Rohingya refugees is also the key to solving the crisis in Myanmar.

Furthermore, Foreign Minister Sugiono also raised his commitment with ASEAN Ministers to encourage the implementation of Five-Point Consensus (5PC) regarding the situation in Myanmar.

On this occasion, Foreign Minister Sugiono invited partners to provide humanitarian assistance to Myanmar through The ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Center).
