Myanmar parties ready to extend quake truce Malaysia PM DW 04/18/2025
Briefly

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has indicated that a ceasefire between Myanmar's military junta and an opposition group is likely to be extended to facilitate earthquake relief efforts. He stated that successful outreach talks held with both leaders produced a commitment to maintaining peace during humanitarian operations necessitated by the recent earthquake that resulted in significant loss of life. Anwar emphasized the necessity of a secure environment for humanitarian assistance to be effective across Myanmar, regardless of political affiliations amid ongoing conflicts.
There will be a ceasefire and no unnecessary provocations, because otherwise, the whole humanitarian exercise would fail,
My initial exchange with both the SAC prime minister and the NUG has been very successful.
Our priority is humanitarian efforts. They must have a ceasefire. They must ensure the safety of all the personnel helping out with the humanitarian arrangements.
I told him it's important to cease fire. It's important to allow for humanitarian efforts to cover all of Myanmar, irrespective of where they are or what political position they take.
