00:00Thai Prime Minister Anu Tin Chan Virakul has called for a calibrated re-engagement with Myanmar
00:06ahead of talks with Myanmar's President Min Ong Leung this week.
00:10He reaffirmed that ASEAN's five-point consensus remains the bloc's framework for addressing the Myanmar crisis.
00:17He is due to meet Min in Thailand on August 6 and 7.
00:21The meeting comes despite ASEAN's limited engagement with Myanmar,
00:25with some member states saying the country is still not ready to fully rejoin the bloc's high-level meetings.
00:30Min, the former Junta chief-turned-president, last week has rejected ASEAN's peace plan,
00:35accusing the regional bloc of discriminating against Myanmar.
00:39Analysts have said that renewed engagement could risk lending legitimacy to the military-led government.
