Malaysia Proposes Permanent Envoy to Monitor Myanmar Crisis

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – In a significant development regarding the ongoing crisis in Myanmar, Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad bin Haji Hasan has proposed the establishment of a permanent special envoy to monitor the situation on the ground. This proposal, announced during a recent press conference, directly addresses the need for efficient implementation of the five-point consensus (5PC) agreed upon by ASEAN leaders in April 2021. The 5PC aims to de-escalate the conflict in Myanmar through an immediate cessation of violence, a dialogue between all parties, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. "The proposal is for a permanent envoy to visit Myanmar and monitor the crisis there," Minister Hasan stated, emphasizing the importance of consistent oversight. The video shows Minister Hasan explaining how the permanent envoy would streamline the 5PC's implementation, contrasting it with the previous approach involving multiple parties. This streamlined approach is expected to improve efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the multifaceted challenges of the Myanmar crisis. The international community will be watching closely as this proposal progresses, hoping it will contribute to a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the restoration of stability in Myanmar.
