Thailand and Vietnam Call for ASEAN Action to Address Myanmar Conflict
Thailand and Vietnam called for an ASEAN consensus on the Myanmar conflict at the 5th Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC-5) in Bangkok.
Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-nukara and his Vietnamese counterpart Bui Thanh Son were present.
Both countries share the goal of a peaceful and unified political situation in Myanmar.
They expressed concerns about the worsening conflict near the Thai-Myanmar border and agreed on the need for a joint ASEAN statement.
Vietnam is ready to support Thailand's "humanitarian corridor" initiative in the border area as part of ASEAN's efforts to ensure peace in the region.
The text reports that Laos will serve as the ASEAN chair this year, with both China and the United States supporting its role.
The focus is on strengthening centrality and unity within ASEAN to address regional concerns, particularly regarding the South China Sea.
No details were given about how ASEAN plans to ensure peace in Myanmar, where anti-junta forces have claimed victory in a border town, leading to reports of officials and their families fleeing to Thailand.
The Thai government defended the landing of a military aircraft from Myanmar, stating it was there to deliver "state documents." Simultaneously, Thailand upgraded its relationship with Vietnam to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
