Wisma Putra said that Mohamad would pay courtesy calls on junta chief Min Aung Hlaing and prime minister U Nyo Saw, and hold talks with foreign minister U Than Swe.

“In his engagements, the foreign minister will, among others, call for the full and meaningful implementation of the five-point consensus (5PC), specifically on the cessation of hostilities, unhindered humanitarian access and inclusive dialogue with Myanmar stakeholders.

“The planned elections in Myanmar are also expected to be discussed during the engagements,” the ministry said in a statement today.

Wisma Putra also said the visit followed a decision made at the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in July and comes as Malaysia, the current Asean chair, works to sustain momentum for dialogue among all stakeholders in Myanmar.

“This working visit is a testament to Asean’s resolute commitment to peace, stability, and a durable solution in Myanmar,” the ministry said.

Mohamad previously said he wanted a clearer picture of how Myanmar plans to hold a general election when 63 towns remain under emergency rule.

Myanmar lifted the state of emergency on July 31, more than four years after seizing power in a coup, as a step towards holding elections later in 2025, but its plan to hold elections has faced widespread international condemnation and ongoing internal unrest.

Asean has been working to end Myanmar’s long-standing political and humanitarian crisis, despite the ruling State Administrative Council’s attempts to limit Asean’s influence on local politics through the bloc’s 5PC and inclusive engagement with Myanmar stakeholders.
