KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 (Bernama): The position and appointment of Brunei's Second Minister of Foreign Affairs, Erywan Pehin Yusof, as the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) Special Envoy to Myanmar should be continued under Cambodia's chairmanship next year.

Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said it is imperative for the regional bloc’s Secretariat office to maintain Erywan’s position in order to facilitate the continuous efforts and works, primarily in ending violence in Myanmar and to open up dialogue between the military rulers and their opponents.
