ASEAN has been leading a major diplomatic effort on Myanmar since the country fell into a political stalemate on February 1 after the military arrested government leaders, regional and state heads and members, as well as senior members of the National League for Democracy (NLD).

At the ASEAN Leaders' Meeting held on April 24 in Jakarta, Indonesia, leaders of ASEAN countries reached a 5-point consensus on the situation in Myanmar, which demanded an immediate end to the violence.

All parties must exercise restraint, conduct constructive dialogue to seek a peaceful solution, and offer humanitarian assistance to Myanmar people through the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA), among others.
