STORYLINE:
Defense ministers of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) and representatives from major partners including the United States, China and Russia met in Indonesia's capital on Thursday to discuss the conflict in Gaza and ongoing civil strife in Myanmar.

The 10-nation ASEAN includes Myanmar, but its defense minister was again barred from attending this week’s meetings due to the military government’s failure to comply with a five-point peace plan drafted to ease the violence, leaving the country represented by an empty chair.

In their closed talks the previous day, the bloc's defense chiefs called for an end to the Israel-Hamas war and for the world to collaborate on setting up humanitarian aid corridors into Gaza.

They also reiterated the significance of maintaining freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea and respecting international rules to prevent maritime clashes in the disputed waters.

ASEAN’s other dialogue partners are Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
