The source said that the trip was postponed from this week due to some technical problems in Myanmar. Prak briefed the UN Security Council (UNSC) at the end of last month on the progress of 5PC and ASEAN’s future plan.
According to the source, the second trip will be substantial, to ensure that there is marked progress in the implementation of 5PC, which was agreed upon in April 2021. The ASEAN chair has asked to meet with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for Democracy, as well as other key stakeholders.
On May 6th, the ASEAN chair held the Consultative Meeting on ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance (AHA) to Myanmar in Phnom Penh, which produced three key outcomes—the ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance Delivery Arrangement Framework, addressing operational challenges in the delivery of humanitarian assistance and the framework for COVID-19 vaccine administration in Myanmar.
