LABUAN BAJO - Indonesian President Joko Widodo has urged Asean leaders to resolve the conflict in Myanmar through dialogue, not sanctions, as his country prepares to host the Asean Summit on Wednesday.
“As we want Asean to be open, to cooperate with anyone and any country, resolving problems within Asean ought to happen through the principle of dialogue. This is very important, especially in the case of Myanmar,” Mr Widodo told reporters on Sunday after he arrived in Labuan Bajo, the fishing town on Flores island in eastern Indonesia that is the site of the two-day conference.
As one of the junta’s most vocal critics in Asean, Indonesia faces mounting pressure from rights groups to take harsher measures to address the military regime’s atrocities. The agreement called for a dialogue among all parties, an immediate halt to violence in Myanmar, the appointment of an Asean special envoy to facilitate mediation, for Asean to provide humanitarian assistance, and for a visit by an Asean delegation to Myanmar to meet all concerned parties.
