Myanmar’s junta to consider Asean’s five-point consensus after ‘stabilising’ the country

• The junta said in a statement that ‘constructive suggestions’ had come from Saturday’s talks, but the priority at the moment was to ‘maintain law and order’ and ‘restore community peace and tranquillity’
• Its response signals that junta chief Min Aung Hlaing is not emphatically behind the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ five-point consensus aimed at de-escalating Myanmar’s post-coup crisis
