WASHINGTON, United States — The United States said Monday (Aug 2) that Myanmar's junta was playing for time with a two-year election timeframe as its Secretary of State Antony Blinken prepared to encourage the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to appoint an envoy.
rrMr Blinken is participating virtually in a week of talks involving foreign ministers of Asean, the latest bid by US President Joe Biden's administration to engage a region at the frontlines of US competition with China.
rrAhead of the Asean talks, Myanmar's junta chief promised to hold elections and lift a state of emergency by August 2023, extending an initial timeline given when the military deposed elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Feb 1.
rrThe announcement is "a call for Asean to have to step up its effort because it's clear that the Burmese junta is just stalling for time and wants to keep prolonging the calendar to its own advantage," said a senior US official, using Myanmar's former name of Burma.
rr"All the more reason why Asean has to engage on this and live up and uphold the terms of the five-point consensus that Myanmar also signed up to."
rrJunta chief Min Aung Hlaing attended a meeting with Asean members on the crisis in April that led to the so-called consensus statement that called for an immediate end to violence and a regional special envoy.
rrBut the junta leader later distanced himself from the statement, no envoy has been appointed and more than 900 people have been reported killed in the six-month crackdown on dissent.
rrAsean is not known for its collective diplomatic clout and its meetings have frequently pitted the United States and China against each other as they seek influence.
rrThe US official said Blinken would address Beijing's "coercion" against Asean 4 nations in the dispute-rife South China Sea and also highlight human rights concerns within China.
rrUS Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Southeast Asia last week, where he hammered in on the South China Sea, saying Beijing's claims had no basis in international law.
rrUS Vice President Kamala Harris plans this month to visit historic US partner Singapore as well as Vietnam, which has moved increasingly close to Washington despite war memories.
rrIndonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi is expected to meet Mr Blinken in person in Washington this week, while Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman earlier visited Indonesia and Thailand as well as Cambodia — often seen as the most pro-Beijing ASEAN nation. AFP
