Rappler | ASEAN states split over Myanmar military coup | 1-02-21
— "The Philippines joins Cambodia and Thailand in asserting that the military coup in Myanmar is an internal matter – a far cry from the stance of Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia
As crisis unfolds in Myanmar, member-states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) found themselves divided over the Myanmar military’s seizure of power on Monday, February 1.
Their differences in opinion have seen member-states either express concern, adopt a hands off approach, or refrain from issuing any statement on the Myanmar military’s actions.
In the Philippines, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr said the country would “watch and see for ourselves” how the situation develops in Myanmar after its military detained its civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, along with other top officials of the ruling National League for Democracy party. "
