JAKARTA, 16 April, 2021 (TON): To discuss the political crisis in Myanmar following 1 February military coup, the leaders of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) are expected to meet in the Indonesian capital Jakarta next week, an official source said on Friday.
The summit is to be held in person in Jakarta on 24 April, said the source close to the Indonesian President.
"All the 10 countries are expected to be represented," the source added.
In the wake of the military crackdown on anti-coup protesters in Myanmar, the Indonesian President Joko Widodo called for a summit of the 10-member Asean bloc last month, the media reported.
However, since February, more than 700 people have been killed by Myanmar's security forces as protests broke out after the coup that deposed former de facto leader Aung San Su Kyi's civilian government.
