00:00Nearly four months after taking office as president, Myanmar's junta chief Minyaoleng has criticized ASEAN's regional peace plan.
00:08During a parliamentary speech, he rejected the bloc's five-point consensus and accused ASEAN of treating Myanmar unfairly.
00:18Myanmar was plunged into turmoil since February 2021 when the military removed Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government from power.
00:25The takeover triggered nationwide protests, which later developed into a prolonged civil war involving the military and armed resistance groups.
00:34ASEAN's five-point consensus called for an immediate end to violence and constructive dialogue involving all parties in the conflict.
00:42However, the bloc says Myanmar has failed to implement the plan and later barred Myanmar's political leaders from high-level
00:49meetings because of the lack of progress towards peace.
00:52In response, Min On Klang said the government would continue to strengthen the military and police while continuing to enforce
00:59the country's conscription law.
