00:00Your Majesty, Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, as Chair this year, I ought first to recognize the support and understanding of my colleagues, the leaders of ASEAN.
00:13Through that, we are able to realign our priorities to keep the association resilient, relevant and responsive to the times.
00:23Together with fellow member states, we have worked to foster the conditions for peace in Myanmar.
00:28We know this requires patience and persistence and an honest appreciation of the realities on the ground.
00:36Guided by the five-point consensus, ASEAN has drawn on every available channel and partner to reduce violence and ease the humanitarian crisis.
00:48Balasting peace cannot be imposed.
00:51He must be Myanmar-owned and Myanmar-led.
00:55Only then will the reconciliation endure.
