JAKARTA - The Indonesian government has begun to see new developments in Myanmar after the elections and the formation of a new government in the country. Foreign Minister Sugiono said there were a number of steps that were considered positive by ASEAN countries.
This was conveyed by Sugiono after the 48th ASEAN Summit retreat session in Cebu, Philippines, Saturday, May 9.
According to him, Indonesia from the beginning emphasized that the elections in Myanmar must be inclusive and able to open the way to peace.
After the new government was formed, ASEAN noted the release of more than 6,000 political prisoners as well as a change in the status of prisoners to Aung San Suu Kyi.
"I think this is a progress in fulfilling the five-point consensus," said Sugiono.
However, Indonesia emphasized that the resolution of the Myanmar crisis must still adhere to the ASEAN five-point consensus.
Sugiono said ASEAN countries agreed to continue to involve Myanmar in regional dialogue so that the country could find a way out of its own conflict.
"Member states must continue to pay attention and continue to engage Myanmar," he said.
