Opposing sides in Myanmar conflict open to dialogue, Thai foreign minister says

Thailand's Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow revealed that Myanmar's conflicting parties—military-backed negotiators and rebel groups—are open to dialogue, as recognized by ASEAN's special envoy. This shift signals a potential step toward resolving the ongoing civil war, suggesting that all sides agree a military solution is not viable. The dialogue's progress is significant as it may pave the way for a peaceful resolution to the turmoil in Myanmar, which has been marked by widespread violence and political instability.
