BBC Burmese interviews Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK, following the recent ASEAN summit’s statement strongly condemning the continued acts of violence in Myanmar.
ASEAN reaffirmed support for its Five-Point Consensus: an immediate end to violence in the country; dialogue among all parties; the appointment of a special envoy; humanitarian assistance by ASEAN; and the special envoy’s visit to Myanmar to meet with all parties.
The UN Secretary-General told ASEAN: “I fully appreciate the principled approach of ASEAN through the Five-Point Consensus, and I urge all countries to seek a unified strategy towards Myanmar.” Mark Farmaner’s analysis is at 2.18 – 6.38 and 11.40 – end, dubbed into Burmese.
