Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing formally dismissed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' 2021 Five-Point Consensus peace plan that intended to end the country's civil war, accused the bloc of discrimination and threatened responses to unspecified "non-constructive actions," Reuters reported on July 31. His remarks follow through on a July 9 motion by Myanmar's parliament directing the government to reconsider the plan, which calls for an end to violence, dialogue among all belligerent parties, mediation by ASEAN and allowance of humanitarian aid.
