A meeting between Asean foreign ministers will take place on Monday in Yangon to discuss the oppression of and violence towards the Rohingya ethnic minority group in Myanmar, the Dewan Negara was told today.
Deputy Foreign Minister Reezal Merican Naina Merican said the ministers would seek a long-term solution to the current situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar’s northern region during the meeting.
“The decision was made when Myanmar eventually agreed to the continuous recommendations by Malaysia after both sides traded statements to back their stand (on the issue),” he said.
