Jakarta: ASEAN foreign ministers have agreed on Brunei Darussalam's second foreign minister, Erywan Yusof, as the regional bloc's special envoy to Myanmar.
The 54th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (AMM) was held on August 2 via videoconference.
The Meeting was chaired by Brunei Darussalam under the theme "We Care, We Prepare, We Prosper."
"We discussed the recent developments in Myanmar and expressed our
concern over the situation in the country, including reports of fatalities and violence," stated the Joint Communique of the 54th AMM.
"We welcomed the appointment by the ASEAN Chair for the Minister of Foreign Affairs II of Brunei Darussalam to be the Special Envoy of
the ASEAN Chair on Myanmar, who will start his work in Myanmar, including building trust and confidence with full access to all parties concerned and providing a clear timeline on the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus before the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting," it stated.
6 months since the military coup in Myanmar, the country’s political, rights and aid crisis is worsening.
Myanmar’s military seized power in February, sparking countless pro-democracy protests across the country which were met with violent crackdowns, and widespread human rights abuses.
