缅甸反对扩大东盟的防卫合作伙伴, 根据新加坡国防部长Ng Eng Hen的说法, Myanmar's objections to expanding ASEAN's defense cooperation partners risk undermining the organization's unity and credibility, according to Singapore's Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen. 在老挝举行的东盟国防部长会议上发言的Hen警告说,缅甸唯一反对某些问题的做法可能会损害东盟的进展,并呼吁缅甸不要利用该集团进行报复性政治。 Speaking at the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting in Laos, Hen warned that Myanmar's sole opposition to certain issues could harm ASEAN's progress and called on Myanmar not to use the bloc for retaliatory politics. 僵局可能会将决定推迟到2025年,届时马来西亚担任东盟主席。 The impasse may delay decisions until 2025 when Malaysia chairs ASEAN.
