Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan urges ASEAN to support expanding ceasefire beyond the currently affected zone.
Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan has called for the extension and expansion of a post-earthquake ceasefire in Myanmar, urging ASEAN foreign ministers to support efforts as fighting continues. Despite a truce declared by Myanmar’s military government after a devastating earthquake, hostilities persist, complicating humanitarian aid access and raising concerns over regional stability. As Malaysia holds the ASEAN chairmanship, Mohamad highlighted the need for political dialogue amidst a trust deficit and the military government’s plans for elections, which the opposition seeks to boycott.
