विश्व · ASEAN engages Myanmar military · अभिलेखागारASEAN ने म्यांमार से बातचीत कर पांच साल की रोक खत्म की, लेकिन शांति योजना पर गतिरोध बरकरारलिखित 7 सितंबर 2026 को 9:22 pm UTC बजेदेखेंप्रतिलेख0:00A significant diplomatic shift in0:01Southeast Asia tonight. ASEAN foreign0:03ministers have held their first meeting0:05in 5 years with Myanmar's0:07military-backed government, ending a0:08prolonged freeze that began after the0:102021 coup. The informal talks took place0:13in Manila on July 13th, organized by0:15Thailand as an icebreaker aimed at0:17restarting a stalled peace process.0:20Myanmar had been excluded from ASEAN0:22summits since late 2021 after the junta0:25failed to implement the five-point0:26consensus.0:27A peace framework the block designed to0:29end the bloodshed.0:31But after 5 years of isolation yielding0:33little progress, ASEAN has changed0:35course choosing direct engagement over0:37continued exclusion. Myanmar's foreign0:39minister Tin Maung Swe briefed the0:41gathering on the junta's peace efforts,0:44the status of detained leader Aung San0:46Suu Kyi, and cooperation on cross-border0:48crime. Philippine foreign secretary0:50Maria Teresa Lizardo, who serves as0:53ASEAN's special envoy on Myanmar,0:55requested to visit Aung San Suu Kyi0:57during the talks, but the junta refused1:00signaling that key barriers to dialogue1:02remain firmly in place. Adding to the1:04tension, Myanmar's military-controlled1:06parliament passed a motion formally1:08rejecting the five-point consensus as1:10interference in the country's internal1:12affairs, a direct rebuke to ASEAN's core1:14peace framework. And the human toll1:16continues to mount. 700 civilians have1:19been killed in Myanmar in just the past1:206 months as the civil war between the1:22junta and opposition forces grinding on1:25with no end in sight. Aung San Suu Kyi,1:27the Nobel laureate and pro-democracy1:29leader overthrown in the 2021 coup,1:31remains under detention. The junta's1:33refusal to allow ASEAN's envoy to see1:35her underscores the deep distrust that1:38still defines this relationship and the1:40limits of what this new engagement1:41strategy can achieve. ASEAN has1:43reaffirmed its commitment to the1:44five-point consensus even as it shifts1:46strategy toward engagement. The question1:49now is whether direct talks can achieve1:50what 5 years of isolation could not, or1:53whether this new approach risks1:54legitimizing a junta that has shown1:56little willingness to compromise.लेख पढ़ेंखबर की समयरेखाHeyDexसंक्षिप्त वीडियो ↗
