ASEAN’s decision not to invite Myanmar to the ASEAN Leaders’ Summit has surprised many, including the Myanmar coup leader himself. At the last minute, ASEAN invites representatives from the Burmese junta government to attend a meeting in Brunei. Between 26-28 October, but until then survived. The majority of ASEAN leaders also agree that representatives from the Myanmar government should not be invited to the summit. There is a question as to why ASEAN’s stance on Burma seems to be more aggressive than it used to be. Having said that, in the past, most of the leaders of ASEAN nations did not appreciate Burma. Since the civilian government of Da Aung San Suu Kyi, there have been major human rights violations. ASEAN is in a dilemma. But at least they still have some respect for the civilian government of Burma.
When Burma returned to the era of full military dictatorship ASEAN is trying to negotiate with Myanmar to end political and violent conflicts. but did not receive a response The Burmese also tried to delay the time. until ASEAN views that Myanmar has lost diplomatic etiquette This led to a boycott against Myanmar from joining the ASEAN Leaders’ Summit. Another explanation that could explain ASEAN’s current stance on the liberal side. especially in Europe, the United States or developed countries collectively. that countries in the Northern Hemisphere (Global North) attach importance to transparency human rights issues and environment as the main In short, the world order in the 2020s is driven by these issues, or in short, the world is turning this way. understand the environment and global warming? But it cannot be denied that ASEAN needs to adapt. Not because you have to keep up with the world. but to show the outside world that ASEAN has enough potential As a regional organization And as ASEAN is also part of this new world and world order.
It can be said that the current situation in Burma is contrary to the New World Order of the Kaabi. whether it is a matter of human rights environmental matters or a stable and transparent government ASEAN can no longer look at Myanmar from the outside. But some intervention is required. because as long as Myanmar is a member of ASEAN Burma’s security It means the stability of ASEAN is no different. But for Burma The junta made it clear that Burma should learn to live with just a few friends. This means that Myanmar does not have to follow the world’s trends. and choose to be friends with “equal precepts”, especially Russians, Chinese, or even Thais that leaders have similar ideas to Burmese leaders At least these leaders are not as confident in democracy and human rights as Burma.
However, Myanmar’s trusted friends, however, had little doubt and distrust. when the coup China’s stance is somewhat out of support for the coup. Because China believes that the Burmese army is strong. when considering the benefits choosing to be on the side of the army Which, however, holds the cards above the NLD or the people’s sector. It is indeed a political piece that the Beijing government considers appropriate. but over time Beijing is unsure whether it should continue to support the junta government. But this coup was unlike the previous one, and the conflict in Burma began to escalate until a People’s Army (PDF) and its parallel government, NUG, emerged. including along the Burma-China border as well This caused China to reconsider its attitude towards the current Burmese government again.
Important issues that cannot be discussed The Burmese junta’s attempts to approach Russia whether through the purchase of weapons or frequent visits to Russia to show that a large country like Russia still sided with Burma. This made China feel extremely uncomfortable. China knows that Burma is trying to use Russia as a negotiator. and the Burmese army wants more China to come in Because China has a better relationship with the NLD government than the military. until now China is still calculating whether it should approach the Burmese junta more or not. and in what manner In August, Sun Guoxiang, China’s Special Envoy for Asia, Traveled to Naypyidaw for a full week and tried to meet Daw Aung San Suu Kyi but was unsuccessful. Although the NLD is no longer a government But China has openly supported the NLD and Dao Aung San Suu Kyi. When news came that the Burma Election Commission was proposing the dissolution of the NLD. China issued a statement in response to a letter sent by the NLD to congratulate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and also invited representatives from the NLD to attend a meeting where the CPC invited representatives of political parties from several countries. come in and talk
another phenomenon that surprises the world China agrees to negotiate with the United States and allows Kyaw Moe Tun, Myanmar’s ambassador to the United Nations. The proclamor was outraged against the coup and supported the people’s movement. to be Myanmar’s representative to the United Nations This position has been discussed for a long time before. The junta also wanted to send their people to the United Nations headquarters in New York. Because it will increase the credibility and legitimacy to them by leaps and bounds. but in the end All free nations have chosen to side with the NUG counterpart government, and some have already begun to formally recognize the NUG as Myanmar’s representative.
equal to now The junta government is in trouble. will not turn to rely on China Because China has not agreed with the coup from the beginning. It is not great to hope that ASEAN will be a true friend to help in difficult times. Not to mention the stance of Western nations openly condemning Burma. Even Russia itself will soon start to get bored of Burma. When the weapon purchase deal ends Or did Russia realize that Burma was not so strategically useful to it? As for Thailand, it does not have any concrete foreign policy. ready to approach every nation that offers benefits After this, Thailand itself may not be able to cheer Burma outside of the country anymore. as mentioned above Regardless of how the Thai leader feels attached to the leader of the Burma Army but in the end People in the Thai government understand best that the world is moving away from Burma. Because the world in this century is no longer the world of any group of leaders. but a more transparent world and give as much importance to human rights as with political stability and economic development
