PHNOM PENH (Reuters) – Leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) decided on Friday that the bloc should ensure there were measurable indicators and a specific timeline for implementing a peace plan agreed with Myanmar’s junta after “little progress”.
The bloc’s foreign ministers had been tasked with developing “concrete, practical and measurable indicators with specific timeline to support the five-point consensus,” ASEAN said in a statement, referring to the plan agreed jointly with Myanmar’s military government last year.
