JAKARTA, April 17 (dpa): Leaders of South-East Asian countries are expected to meet in the Indonesian capital next week to discuss the political crisis in Myanmar following the February 1 military coup, an official source has confirmed.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo called for a summit of the 10-member Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) last month, after hundreds were killed in a military crackdown on anti-coup protesters in Myanmar.
