Chheang Vannarith, president of the Asian Vision Institute in Cambodia, told China Daily that the implementation of the five-point consensus is critical to resolving the Myanmar crisis. It would be worrying for ASEAN if Myanmar does not push forward on compliance with the consensus. Failure to do so would also mean that a political-level representative from Myanmar would not be welcomed to ASEAN summits, as was the case in events last year.
“We should wait for the trip of the (ASEAN) special envoy,” said Chheang Vannarith, referring to Hun Sen’s proposal that the Myanmar military be asked to facilitate the visit to Myanmar by the ASEAN special envoy as soon as possible.
