Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi shared the plan while hosting Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó at an official meeting in Jakarta on Tuesday.

In addition to bilateral issues, the ministers discussed several international issues of shared concern, including the situation unfolding in Myanmar after its popularly elected government was ousted in a military coup on Feb. 1.

“I have conveyed to Minister Szijjártó my intensive communication with the foreign ministers of ASEAN countries, as well as India, Australia, Japan, Britain and the special envoy of the United Nations Secretary General on Myanmar,” Retno said in a joint statement after the talks.

She said she would also speak with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to discuss the post-coup situation.

“This afternoon, I will visit several ASEAN countries, including Brunei Darussalam as the chair of ASEAN. Once again, Indonesia strives to continue contributing in a constructive manner,” she said on Tuesday.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin previously instructed their respective foreign ministers to hold a special ASEAN meeting on the situation “as members of a family”.

Retno is also set to stop over in Singapore, according to a ministry spokesperson, and visits to additional countries are being planned.

As the de facto leader of ASEAN, Indonesian diplomats have from time to time used “shuttle diplomacy”, parleying among counterparts from other countries to coordinate a collective response on an issue – not unlike the back-and-forth shuttling of badminton, a national sport.

Retno and her predecessors have famously employed this approach to maintain stability in the region, including in Myanmar’s Rohingya refugee crisis in 2017, the 2016 test of ASEAN unity in Laos and the 2011 Vihear temple conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.

The most recent “shuttling” efforts come as Myanmar’s armed forces, the Tatmadaw, have seized control of power and have responded to waves of peaceful protests and civil disobedience movements by deploying armored vehicles and soldiers and cutting off internet services for certain periods.

The army claims the protests are harming stability and have caused people to live in fear, Reuters reported.

On Monday, UN special envoy on Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener spoke with the military junta’s second-in-command to urge restraint and restore communication.

“Ms. Schraner Burgener has reinforced that the right of peaceful assembly must fully be respected and that demonstrators are not [to be] subject to reprisals,” UN spokesman Farhan Haq said at the UN headquarters in New York.

Retno said that for Indonesia, the safety and welfare of the people of Myanmar had to be the top priority.

“Efforts to secure the continuation of an inclusive transition to democracy need to be put forward,” the minister said. She added that regional mechanisms had to be made to work better to help resolve the complex problem.

Separately, Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan raised concerns about violent clashes at protests, the detention of civil servants, internet blackouts and the deployment of troops and armored vehicles onto city streets.

“These are alarming developments. We urge the authorities to exercise the utmost restraint. […] We hope they will take urgent steps to de-escalate the situation,” he said, as quoted by Reuters.

“There should be no violence against unarmed civilians. And we hope that there will be a peaceful resolution.”

ASEAN has been criticized for the split responses of its member states to the military coup, with some insisting the coup is a domestic issue and that it should not be interfered with.

However, some observers have warned that ASEAN’s reputation is at stake and that a failure to address the problem would undermine the body’s centrality and power.

In a statement issued late on Monday, former members of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) called on the Tatmadaw to release prisoners who were arbitrarily detained, resolve election disputes through democratic processes and respect human rights.

They said that the coup was a violation of the principles of democracy, constitutional government, the rule of law, good governance and the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in the ASEAN Charter and that, as a member, Myanmar was obliged to abide by it.

“Not only will the coup destabilize the region, it is also a catalyst to allow the military to act unchecked to afflict the people of Myanmar with the unacceptable malaise of dictatorship,” the former representatives from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines wrote.
