(Malaysia): Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that he will meet with other ASEAN leaders to address the Myanmar crisis, including former Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen, according to a Singaporean news outlet ‘The Online Citizen’ on Monday (May 26).

He reaffirmed Malaysia’s commitment to a peaceful resolution to the Myanmar issue, emphasizing the importance of “quiet diplomacy” and ASEAN’s evolving role in seeking solutions in a complex regional landscape.

Speaking during the opening of the 46th ASEAN Summit on 26 May 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Anwar said subtle diplomacy has enabled meaningful progress despite formidable challenges.

Anwar noted that ASEAN has achieved incremental progress through the establishment of the Informal Advisory Group for Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025. The group is led by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and includes participation from prominent regional figures.

He added that a previous meeting held in Brunei Darussalam was attended by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, while the third session in Bangkok contributed to tangible progress. The next meeting will be hosted by Cambodia’s former Prime Minister Hun Sen.
