Cambodia mulls rescheduling ASEAN FMs’ meeting mid-Feb.

PHNOM PENH, 30 January 2022, (TON): The Foreign Ministry said “Cambodia is considering rescheduling the annual ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting for Feb. 16-17 following its postponement earlier this month.”

Sources close to the matter said “Cambodia, the rotating chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations for this year, is planning to exclude the foreign minister of Myanmar from the meeting as the country’s ruling military has not stopped violence against protesters.

The sources said “only a nonpolitical figure from Myanmar would be invited unless the junta shows some progress in implementing ASEAN’s so-called five-point consensus, which includes a call for an immediate end to violence and the dispatch of the group’s special envoy to meet with all stakeholders in the conflict in Myanmar.”
