Malaysia warns Myanmar to cooperate with Asean envoy or no summit


KUALA LUMPUR,Oct 4 (AP): Malaysia's foreign minister warned Monday that Myanmar may be excluded from a summit of South-East Asian leaders this month if it refuses to cooperate with the bloc's special envoy in resolving the military-ruled country's deepening crisis.

The 10-member Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean), which includes Myanmar, picked Brunei’s Second Foreign Minister Erywan Yusof in August as their special envoy and mediator following a military takeover in February that toppled the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi. He is reportedly still negotiating with Myanmar's military on the terms of a visit.
