Myanmar: ASEAN’s Intractable Problem
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

While the country’s leaders have been barred from high-level meetings since the military coup in 2021, ASEAN’s roadmap for normalisation - the Five-Point Consensus - remains the bloc’s primary but largely ineffective framework for engaging with the military junta. With relations between both sides turning sour for more than five years, what can ASEAN and Myanmar realistically expect from one another moving forward?
