SINGAPORE: Singapore continues to give its full backing to the United Nations Secretary-General's envoy Ibrahim Gambari as he helps Myanmar achieve a peaceful reconciliation.
Myanmar’s pro-democracy group 88 Generation Students had written to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo on Thursday, asking for ASEAN to consider suspending Myanmar's membership of ASEAN and other issues.
Responding with points made by Minister Yeo in parliament last month, Special Assistant to Minister Chi Chiew Sum said ASEAN needs to retain links with Myanmar in order to keep its moral influence on the nation.
He assured the group that Singapore is committed to continue working with the UN for peaceful national reconciliation in Myanmar. - CNA/ac
