ASEAN Chair’s Statement on the Meeting of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi with a Delegate from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

  1. We welcome the meeting on 03 August 2026 between Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Mr. Arnaud de Baecque, Resident Representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to Myanmar. We view this as a positive step towards inclusive national dialogue and reconciliation among all parties in Myanmar and hope that this will pave the way for regular and sustained access for her family, legal counsel, medical professionals, and appropriate humanitarian representatives.

  3. We note this development as part of Myanmar's efforts towards peace and reconciliation in Myanmar. We urge the further expansion of access to persons held in detention in Myanmar since February 2021, and reiterate our call for their release, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's complete and unconditional release. We believe that further positive steps would contribute to building trust and creating a more conducive environment for lasting peace and stability in Myanmar.
