In an open letter to Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Andrews pointed out that at the conclusion of a meeting with ASEAN leaders in Jakarta, Mr. Hlaing agreed to an “immediate cessation of violence in Myanmar.”
He said this is an imperative first step toward ending a crisis that has already cost the lives of Myanmar people.
