On 26 October, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia issued a statement reaffirmed their commitment to the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) as the primary framework for resolving Myanmar’s ongoing political and humanitarian crisis.

The statement is as follows.

We reviewed the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) and took note of the recommendation of the 37th ASEAN Coordinating Council (ACC) Meeting and the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meetings on 9 July and 25 October 2025.

 We discussed the developments in Myanmar and expressed deep concern over the conflicts and dire humanitarian situation in the country as well as the lack of substantive progress in the implementation of the 5PC. We denounced the continued acts of violence in Myanmar against civilians, public facilities, and civilian infrastructure and urged all parties involved to take concrete action to immediately halt indiscriminate violence, denounce any escalation, exercise utmost restraint, ensure the protection and safety of all civilians and create a conducive environment for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and inclusive national political dialogue.

We reaffirmed ASEAN’s continuous commitment to assisting Myanmar in finding a peaceful and durable solution to the ongoing crisis, as Myanmar remains an integral part of ASEAN.
