He spoke in a televised address that Myanmar is ready to work on ASEAN cooperation within the ASEAN framework including the dialogue with the ASEAN Special Envoy in Myanmar.
Myanmar has been in a political stalemate since February 1, after the army arrested government leaders, regional and state chiefs and senior members of the National League for Democracy party of Myanmar (NLD) for electoral fraud allegations.
ASEAN Foreign Ministers are to meet on Monday to discuss the implementation of the 5-point consensus reached by leaders of member countries in late April to resolve the crisis in Myanmar.
