Malaysia urges ASEAN to rethink about is decision to not interfere in affairs of its member states


ASEAN - Myanmar


ASEAN has always maintained its no interference policy for its member states but Malaysia this urges the organization to make an exception and interfere in the internal matters of Myanmar which is experiencing total exploitation of human rights under the leadership of the military.

The Association of SouthEast Asian Nations must act on Myanmar's situation and rethink its decades long non-interference in the affairs of its member states as there are many incidences of human rights crisis in the nation urged the top Malaysian Foriegn Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.

The leader of Myanmar junta was excluded from an upcoming regional submit, which is one of its king moves for the organisation. Instead of the military leader, a non-political figure will be invited to take the matters forward.

The decision was taken on Friday by a 10-member block citing the various violations taking place in Myanmar. Following this, the Foreign MInister of Malaysia also said that ASEAN should do some ‘soul searching’ on its non-interference policy as things are continually worsening in Myanmar.

While participating in the meeting through a virtual call, the top diplomat said, “I reminded the meeting (on Friday) that ASEAN is about 10 member states.

As much as the issue in Myanmar is local and national, it has an impact on the region.” He also added that this is also in line with the security of other nine states.

The top diplomat was seemingly angry at the multinational body as he stated that it should not use the policy as a shield to avoid addressing issues as it's making the body look weak and insufficient. The policy is also discouraging the scope of growth in the region, said the minister.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice.
