The refugee crisis is most important issue of the session. The delegate of Thailand opens the discussion by encouraging other delegates and to report the present situations of refugees in their countries.’If you don’t tell us what is going on in your country, we will not be able to find a way to solve this problem.”
Countries, such as Singapore, believed it is important to find a quick and efficient solution to combat refugee crisis: “If we don’t find a possible solution today, the number of refugees will just keep increasing.”
Emotions ran high as Thailand announced that she supports the plan of increasing funding towards refugee crisis; however, none of the countries except Thailand herself would like to sacrifice their tax money.
Arguments lead to a great divide. The idea of opening borders, brought up by Cambodia, was immediately disagreed by Malaysia, but Thailand chose to stand on Cambodia’s side: “Opening the border might be the most efficient way to fix this problem.”
All delegates ignored the possibility of seeking support outside ASEAN. The current refugee crisis has been known as a worldwide issue, and even influential countries in UN such as US and China are seeking for more cooperation between each other.
The discussion of refugee crisis expired within an hour as ASEAN members chose to move on to the topic of increasing the communication between governments.
