🇵🇭🇲🇲Philippines hosts Myanmar political, ethnic groups for ‘stakeholder meeting’ ASEAN chair the Philippines has welcomed various political and ethnic groups from army-ruled Myanmar to a “stakeholders’ meeting”, Manila’s Foreign Minister said on Jan 22. Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro, who took over in 2026 as the ASEAN special envoy for the crisis in war-torn Myanmar, did not name the groups represented or say when the meeting took place. The military in Myanmar is currently holding a general election, with two of its three phases of voting completed and results showing low turnout and a party allied with the military winning the majority of seats so far. #ThePhilippines#Myanmar @asianomics
