ASEAN needs to strongly promote the strength of solidarity, unity and strategic autonomy, effectively enhance its central role with the support and respect of its partners, and affirm its mission of maintaining peace and stability, and development in the region, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son has said.
Talks will focus on implementation of five-point peace ‘consensus’ agreed with Myanmar’s military rulers last year to try to end conflict in the country.
Vietnamese Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son stressed the importance of dialogue, trust, and sense of responsibility while attending the East Asia Summit (EAS) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Phnom Penh on August 5.
