Foreign ministers from 10 Southeast Asian Nations will call for a "comprehensive and durable" solution to the Myanmar's restive Rakhine State when they meet informally for their annual retreat in Chiang Mai on Jan 17-18.

The ministers intend to voice their expectation that an investigative committee established by Myanmar government to probe what happened in Rakhine would seek accountability by carrying out an independent and impartial investigation into alleged human rights violations and related issues.

Aside from the Rohingya issue, the Asian foreign ministers also intend to note some concerns over cybersecurity, denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership being negotiated among 16 Asia-Pacific nations would also be touched by the ministers, and the ministers will seek to reach a broad agreement to finalize the negotiations by 2019.
