CEBU, Philippines: South-East Asian foreign ministers have agreed to a virtual meeting with their Myanmar counterpart, Asean's secretary-general said on Thursday (May 7), as the country seeks to re-engage with the regional bloc after five years on the sidelines.
In an interview during the Asean summit in the Philippines, Kao Kim Hourn (pic) said Myanmar, which has been gripped by civil war, had indicated it wanted to normalise ties with the 11-member grouping, but its neighbours want to see progress on de-escalation, dialogue and aid access.
