Myanmar: Asean envoy to Myanmar in talks with junta for visit

NAYPYITAW, 05 September 2021, (TON): The Brunei diplomat appointed by a Southeast Asian regional bloc as its special envoy to Myanmar said that he is still negotiating with the military on the terms of a visit to the country and he has sought access to ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) has been trying to end the violence that erupted in Myanmar after the military overthrew Suu Kyi and took power in February, and has sought to open a dialogue between the military rulers and their opponents.

Asean tasked Erywan Yusof, Brunei's second foreign affairs minister, last month with leading these efforts.
