JAKARTA – South-east Asian leaders can expect a busy week from Tuesday as they gather for an annual summit in Jakarta to tackle challenges that include the Myanmar crisis and quelling tensions over China’s new national map, which claims sovereignty over disputed areas in the South China Sea.
Indonesia is pushing efforts to accelerate the process of decision-making within the bloc, particularly in times of crises. As a basic principle, decisions in Asean are based on consultation and consensus. Myanmar’s ruling military junta is still banned from formal Asean summits and may not send a non-political figure as in previous meetings.
Another issue that could be discussed at the summit is China’s new map and its possible impact on ongoing negotiations on the COC. Ms Retno told The Jakarta Post that she would not be surprised if several countries raised the latest developments in the disputed sea during the summit, adding: “It’s not a new issue for us.”
The guidelines “summarise aspirations” to complete the COC in three years or less, but he added: “Given the complexity of the elements in the COC, the parties involved have been very careful so that a breakthrough is needed to accelerate the process.”
