Mr Sihasak was speaking after the Informal Asean Foreign Ministers Meeting, which Myanmar Foreign Minister U Tin Maung Swe attended on Sunday at a Bangkok hotel.
Mr Sihasak also held an extended informal consultation with U Tin to gather information on the situation on the ground and to relay Asean members' concerns regarding the political and humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.
