Protests erupted in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, as Myanmar’s military ruler and army chief, General Min Aung Hlaing, arrived to attend the ASEAN summit. General Min Aung Hlaing will also hold meetings with the leaders of the region at the ASEAN Summit. This is the first international forum in which General Min Aung Hlaing had to explain the chaos, crisis and violence in his country. The closed-door meeting on Saturday called on Myanmar’s military government to immediately end the violence, release political prisoners and appoint a special ASEAN representative for Myanmar. Myanmar’s neighbors include China, India and Thailand, and are part of the 10-member ASEAN. Despite the Corona epidemic, the summit was personally attended by the heads of state, so it is not a virtual summit. On the occasion, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that the summit made it clear that ASEAN is deeply concerned about the crisis in Myanmar and that ASEAN is committed to helping the country out of this crisis. Help get it out. Retno Marsudi also expressed hope that an agreement could be reached on Sunday that would be good for the people of Myanmar. The Philippine Foreign Minister also expressed his concern over Myanmar at the summit. The participation of Myanmar’s military chief in the ASEAN summit has been described as an unusual move.
