YANGON/PHNOM PENH, Nov 14 (Laotian Times): Leaders of Asean countries have warned Myanmar that it needs to proceed with an actionable peace plan or risk removal from the bloc’s meetings as an aftermath of the social and political chaos engulfing the nation.

During last week’s summit in Cambodia, Asean leaders acknowledged that there was very “little progress achieved in the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus” that aimed to reduce the widespread violence in Myanmar within a stipulated time among other measures.
