MANILA: Asean leaders will review the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) on Myanmar at the 49th Asean Summit in Manila and adopt a decision to guide the bloc's future engagement with the country, Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs Theresa P. Lazaro said.
She said the document, titled the Asean Leaders' Review and Decision on the Implementation of the Five-Point Consensus, would take stock of developments in Myanmar and assess progress in implementing the 5PC since the previous review.
Lazaro said the 5PC remained Asean's primary reference for addressing the situation in Myanmar and that the bloc had repeatedly called for its full and effective implementation.
"This is a message that I reiterated during my recent bilateral meeting with the Myanmar foreign minister on Oct 29.
