It would also not pressure ASEAN member nations to do so, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

“This is because of the non-interference policy which is one of the core characteristics in the formation of ASEAN is in practice and respected by the ASEAN member nations,” he explained.

Mohamad said this in a written reply in response to Wong Chen (PH-Subang) who questioned whether the government opted for that option in a bid to end the ongoing conflict in Myanmar

He added that Malaysia would collaborate closely with ASEAN member states to get via the full implementation of the Five-Point Consensus.

A multi prong, inclusive approach too would be undertaken to resolve the conflict that was sparked off in 2021.

These would including roping in China and India to resolve the conflict.
