According to Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun, the alleged trip of the Asean's Chair and Secretary-General to Myanmar has yet to be officially notified.

At the press conference on May 15 in Nay Pyi Taw, Brig-Gen Zaw Min Tun says that "In regards to the trip, there hasn't been any official notification. And the other thing is that we are not involved in this but there is supposed to be a discussion with the foreign ministry and Asean officials. So there is a meeting but it is not a trip to here. As I've said, there hasn't been any notification about the trip itself. We are aware of the suggestions by Asean leaders. In regards to those, we had issued a three-point statement after the State Administration Council discussed them. We will be going forward based on those three points."

The three points are that; Myanmar is thankful for positive suggestions and will consider the input from Asean and that the proposed trip by Asean will be carried out depending on the stability of the country and that the SAC's five-steps plan will include Asean's efforts, provided that it is beneficial to the nation.

"We will act in accord with those three points. I've said before that Asean member nations are our family, our community. We value them," said Zaw Min Tun.
