Nevertheless Cambodia stands firm, remains resilient, and ready to contribute its best as the ASEAN Chair.
- The current Myanmar crisis and Ukraine-Russia issues have unveiled challenges to the ASEAN unity. The Chair is expected to find the practical solutions to alleviate the tensions and conflicts.
- Cambodia’s success is ASEAN’s success. All Member States should proactively support Cambodia to fund ways to operationalize the ASEAN 5-point Consensus by engaging with the Junta and other relevant stakeholders in a well-balanced manner.
