The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was working to expedite the implementation of a five-point consensus reached by their leaders to deal with the crisis in Myanmar, Reuters reported quoting Singapore's foreign minister.

"We recognise that implementation of the Five-Point Consensus has been slow and a little disappointing," Vivian Balakrishnan said in written replies to parliamentary questions.

In April, ASEAN announced a five-point consensus towards resolving the crisis, though no timeframe was agreed.
