Malaysia Calls for Myanmar Truce Extension, Pushes for Peace Deal

  • On May 25, Malaysia called for extending and expanding the ceasefire in Myanmar, which was set to expire at the end of May.
  • The ceasefire followed a late-March earthquake that killed nearly 3,800 people and displaced tens of thousands, prompting the military junta to declare a truce.
  • Despite the ceasefire, conflict monitors and the United Nations report ongoing fighting and junta airstrikes while anti-coup and ethnic groups pledged hostilities pauses amid displacement.
  • Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan called on all parties in Myanmar to halt fighting and broaden the current ceasefire agreement, emphasizing that the Myanmar government must adhere to the agreed five-point peace framework.
  • As the current ASEAN chair, Malaysia intends to dispatch representatives to Myanmar in June and spearhead the regional bloc's initiatives aimed at reducing tensions, facilitating humanitarian aid, and encouraging political discussions, despite ongoing difficulties.
