Episode Details

ASEAN is pushing hard for peace in Myanmar, with top diplomats meeting Myanmar’s foreign minister for the first time since the 2021 coup — and bringing up Aung San Suu Kyi, who’s still jailed despite some charges being dropped. While Myanmar’s government claims she’s being well-treated and calls her “a sister,” her supporters say the charges are fabricated to silence her. ASEAN’s special envoy Maria Theresa Lazaro insists engagement is working, citing progress on humanitarian aid — even as Myanmar’s parliament recently rejected ASEAN’s peace plan as interference. Other ASEAN leaders are demanding visible progress and even want to meet Suu Kyi themselves to verify her wellbeing. Myanmar says the talks are about restoring ties and full participation — but tensions remain high as ASEAN presses for real change.
