The five-point consensus agreed by ASEAN should be the basis by which the situation can be resolved, Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a visit to Jakarta.

Mr. Lavrov will hold virtual talks with his ASEAN counterparts during the visit, according to Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi.

At a meeting in Jakarta in late April, ASEAN leaders agreed on five points on the Myanmar situation: ending violence, conducting constructive dialogue among all parties, appointing a special ASEAN envoy to facilitate the dialogue, providing humanitarian assistance for Myanmar’s people.
