JAKARTA, Feb 15 (Jakarta POst/ANN): Indonesia will at this week’s Asean retreat propose the creation of an eminent persons group to formulate a regional vision beyond 2025, which improves on the bloc’s ability to deal with “current challenges” amid doubts over its handling of crises including the Myanmar coup fallout.

Most Asean foreign ministers will convene in Cambodia’s capital city Phnom Penh starting from Wednesday for closed-door talks amid mounting pressure from the international community to deal with the Myanmar crisis, and at a time of flux in the wider Indo-Pacific region.
