ASEAN Leaders Push for Peace in Myanmar

ASEAN leaders have committed to seeking a peaceful solution to Myanmar's ongoing civil war. The group supports increased cooperation with neighbors and the UN, urging Myanmar's military to reduce violence and halt civilian attacks, according to a statement released during the ASEAN summit in Laos.

In a significant move Thursday, Southeast Asian leaders expressed support for efforts aimed at resolving Myanmar's civil war peacefully. They have called for increased cooperation with neighboring countries and the United Nations to address the crisis and its broader repercussions.

The call for action was made during a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Laos. The leaders issued a statement urging all parties in Myanmar, particularly the military and security forces, to reduce violence and stop targeting civilians.

This appeal signals ASEAN's commitment to leveraging diplomatic avenues and fostering regional partnerships to facilitate conflict resolution in Myanmar.
