Myanmar’s junta played down the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ decision to strip it of the chairmanship in 2026, saying it had other priorities that includes making preparations to hold elections seen by the West as a sham.
With violence in Myanmar only getting worse since the military coup more than two years ago, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced on Tuesday that his country was ready to stand-in and helm the 10-nation regional bloc in three years. Myanmar hasn’t been invited to Asean meetings since the 2021 coup.
While Asean has led diplomatic efforts to end the violence in Myanmar, it remains deeply divided over how to engage a military that has killed thousands in its country. The bloc has come under scrutiny for its slow handling of the Myanmar crisis using a five-point consensus that its leaders formally agreed to continue pursuing on Tuesday.
Although Myanmar was consulted on the draft document, “the views and voices of Myanmar are not taken into account,” Myanmar’s Foreign Ministry said during a television broadcast Tuesday evening. “The reviews are not objective and decisions are bias and one-sided.”
