JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Recognising, albeit partially, the National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar could become a second effective action by Indonesia and Asean to force Myanmar's military junta, Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, to implement the five-point consensus he agreed upon during a meeting with the group's leaders in Jakarta on April 26.

The Myanmar government in exile is the official representative of Aung San Suu Kyi, who was ousted by the military on Feb 1 and just recently was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for incitement and violating Covid-19 restrictions.
