BANGKOK/YANGON, Feb 7 (Reuters): Myanmar military leader Min Aung Hlaing agreed to arrange for an Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) special envoy from Cambodia to meet members of the ousted ruling party on a future visit, a senior Cambodian official said on Monday.

The pledge, made in a Jan. 26 video call with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, represents a small concession in a deadlocked peace process since Myanmar's military seized power a year ago from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD).
