PH welcomes UN Security Council's support for ASEAN's 'constructive' role in Myanmar
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) expressed its welcome to the United Nations Security Council's (UNSC) endorsement of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution in Myanmar.
The UNSC has reiterated its demand for the release of all arbitrarily detained individuals, notably State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint.
The DFA affirmed its support for the efforts of Ms. Christine Schraner Burgener, the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy on Myanmar.
This development follows a briefing by Brunei Darussalam's Minister of Foreign Affairs II Dato Erywan Pehin Yusof, who chairs ASEAN, regarding the ASEAN Leaders' Meeting on Myanmar.
The UNSC acknowledged the ASEAN Leaders' Meeting held on April 24, 2021, in Indonesia, along with the Chairman's Statement and the agreed-upon 'Five-Point Consensus'.
Members of the UNSC offered their full backing for Burgener's current regional visit and encouraged her work to complement ASEAN's initiatives, expressing hope for her timely visit to Myanmar.
