Thailand Defers to ASEAN Consensus on Myanmar Ties

Sihasak Phuangketkeow signaled a preference for proactive collaboration, inviting fellow member states to contribute concrete proposals for resolving the turmoil in Myanmar. By shifting the focus toward a group-wide consensus, Thailand aims to move beyond diplomatic stagnation and encourage active participation from the ten-member association. The stance reflects a cautious approach to the civil unrest that has gripped Myanmar since the military coup, ensuring that any shift in regional policy carries the weight of collective agreement rather than the influence of a single nation.
