Indonesia has reiterated the importance of continuing to use ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus as the primary framework for addressing the situation in Myanmar, according to a statement released by Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs following a meeting between Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono and Myanmar military leader President Min Aung Hlaing.

Foreign Minister Sugiono visited Nay Pyi Taw on 8 June and met with Min Aung Hlaing, during which he delivered a message from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, the statement said.

During the meeting, Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to supporting an inclusive and sustainable peace in Myanmar and expressed its readiness to work with all stakeholders in the country to promote dialogue and support peaceful conflict resolution efforts.

Sugiono also emphasized that a sustainable peace process must be Myanmar-owned and Myanmar-led, while reiterating the need to continue using ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus as the guiding framework for addressing the Myanmar crisis.

In addition to meeting Min Aung Hlaing, Sugiono also held talks with Myanmar’s Foreign Minister Tin Maung Swe. The discussions covered bilateral relations, regional issues, economic cooperation, education, and efforts to strengthen people-to-people ties between the two countries.

Indonesia stated that it continues to regard Myanmar as a member of the ASEAN family and remains committed to working constructively with Myanmar and all ASEAN member states to promote a peaceful, stable, and prosperous region.

The visit forms part of ASEAN’s continued engagement efforts aimed at supporting peace and stability in Myanmar. Prior to Sugiono’s visit, the foreign ministers of the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia had also traveled to Myanmar.
