JAKARTA - Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said reconciliation in Myanmar remains ASEAN's top priority, with Indonesia ready to facilitate an inclusive dialogue between all parties in the Thousand Pagoda State.
This was said by Foreign Minister Sugiono when attending the Extended Informal Consultation on The Implementation of The Five-Point Consensus on Wednesday.
The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that this meeting was part of the series of ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Retreat (AMM) Meeting held in Cebu, Philippines.
During this meeting, the Philippine Foreign Minister as Special Envoy of the ASEAN Chair for Myanmar provided a briefing on the latest developments in the situation in Myanmar.
The meeting discussed in depth the implementation of the Five Point Consensus (5PC) and ASEAN's future work priorities in efforts to resolve the Myanmar crisis.
In turn, Foreign Minister Sugiono emphasized that the situation in Myanmar is one of the challenges for ASEAN's resilience and credibility.
"This (the visit of the special envoy to Myanmar) shows ASEAN's commitment to ensuring that reconciliation in Myanmar remains a top priority," said the Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs, launching the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement, Thursday (29/1).
Furthermore, it is said, departing from the common commitment to create peace, stability, and prosperity in the region, ASEAN is expected to continue to be involved constructively and consistently in supporting the peace process in Myanmar.
In particular, Indonesia expressed its appreciation for the efforts of the Philippine Foreign Minister who had met with various parties in Myanmar. This step is considered a relevant real contribution.
Going forward, it requires measured and creative efforts to build lasting and inclusive stability, as well as a solid foundation for the nation-building process of Myanmar.
As a concrete commitment, Indonesia expressed its readiness to facilitate an inclusive dialogue with all relevant parties in Myanmar.
"Indonesia is also open to offering practical support, including sharing our valuable experience in nation-building, the reconciliation process, and the implementation of regional autonomy," concluded the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
