Among the dignitaries expected to arrive are delegates from Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh, India, China, Cambodia, Indonesia and Japan.The theme of the meeting will be "peace and reconciliation" and humanitarian aid, as well as finding a way to implement the ASEAN consensus on Myanmar, which consists of five points: From 1949 until the mid-1990s, armed formations consisting of major national minorities waged a civil war against the Myanmar (formerly Burmese) army. According to regional observers, the outbreak of armed conflicts between the Myanmar military and ethic insurgents in 2021-2022, following the military takeover in Myanmar, translates to a resumption of a nationwide civil war.Mirozam and Manipur, two northeastern states in India, are now providing shelter to thousands of refugees pouring in primarily from the Chin state and Sagaing region, which are known as strongholds of resistance against the military and where the fighting has been the most intense.
