KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Malaysian Prime Minister and Asean chair Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Monday he will meet Myanmar's isolated junta chief in Bangkok this week as the strongman makes a rare trip abroad to discuss earthquake relief.
The Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) has barred junta officials from summits after their 2021 coup deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and plunged Myanmar into a fractious civil war.
