ASEAN leaders reach consensus on 'immediate cessation'
of violence in Myanmar




Leaders of the Association of slotxo online เว็บเก๋าเจ้าแรกในประเทศไทย Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) have agreed on the need for an immediate stop to the violence in Myanmar after an
emergency meeting in Jakarta on Saturday (Apr 24).

The meeting, chaired by Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, was also attended by Myanmar junta
chief Min Aung Hlaing.

This is the general's first foreign trip since the Feb 1 coup that ousted civilian leader Aung San
Suu Kyi. Myanmar's crackdown on anti-coup protests has left more than 700 people dead.

According to a statement from Brunei, the current chair of ASEAN, leaders reached a consensus
on five points - ending violence, constructive dialogue among all parties, the appointment of
a special ASEAN envoy to facilitate dialogue, the provision of humanitarian assistance and
a visit by the envoy to Myanmar.

"We, as an ASEAN family, had a close discussion on the recent developments in Myanmar and
expressed our deep concern on the situation in the country, including reports of fatalities
and escalation of violence," said the statement.

"We acknowledged ASEAN’s positive and constructive role in facilitating a peaceful solution in
the interest of the people of Myanmar and their livelihoods," it added.

"We also heard calls for the release of all political prisoners including foreigners."
