00:00Myanmar has criticised what it calls discriminatory treatment within ASEAN,
00:05saying it is being increasingly isolated following last week's regional summit in the Philippines.
00:11The foreign ministry said refusing engagement with Myanmar's current authorities
00:15ignores the will of voters who took part in the country's last election.
00:21It also said Myanmar has shown patience, despite what it described as unequal treatment
00:27from some ASEAN member states over the past five years.
00:30While no countries were named, Myanmar accused certain members of interfering in its domestic affairs
00:36through sustained criticism and political pressure.
00:39ASEAN has excluded Myanmar's military leadership from high-level meetings since the 2021 coup
00:45that removed the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
00:49At the summit, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Myanmar had made no meaningful progress
00:54in addressing its ongoing political crisis.
