‘Asean should announce special envoy to Myanmar’


TO restore the credibility of Asean, which was damaged by Brunei’s Second Foreign Minister Erywan Yusof and Asean Secretary-General Lim Jock Hoi’s visit to Myanmar on behalf of the regional bloc last week, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo should waste no time in discussing the matter with Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the chair of Asean for this year.

The sultan, who also serves as the country’s prime minister, defence minister, foreign minister and finance minister, may wish to correct the serious mistakes his two top diplomats committed.
