At the recently concluded 48th Asean summit, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, as chair, called for a more “aggressive and effective” approach to the civil war in Myanmar.
While Myanmar’s leaders have been barred from high-level meetings since the military coup in 2021, Asean’s roadmap for normalisation – the five-Ppoint consensus – remains the bloc’s primary but largely ineffective framework for engaging with the military junta.
