Junta must respect Myanmar’s membership in Asean by implementing 5PCs

Myanmar's junta must respect the country’s membership in Asean by complying with the Five-point Consensus (5PCs), said former Malaysian foreign minister Syed Hamid Albar.

Syed Hamid, who is also the Chairman of the Malaysian Advisory Group on Myanmar, pointed out that if the junta wanted Myanmar to be part of the 10-member bloc, they must adhere to the consensus that was forged between the ASEAN leaders and Junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in April 2021.
