Commentary: Myanmar on the cusp of opening up to mediation on Rakhine crisis
Myanmar has recognised ASEAN’s role in assisting with the displaced communities’ humanitarian needs. It has also indicated willingness to address this via the good offices of the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Management (AHA Centre). To this end, the ASEAN Emergency Response and Assistance Team (ASEAN-ERAT) has deployed several missions to Myanmar through 2018. The ASEAN Secretary-General also visited Myanmar in December 2018, to discuss how ASEAN could facilitate the stalled repatriation process.
