ASEAN Foreign Ministers to Meet Chinese Counterpart amid Myanmar Crisis

US, Indonesia to ASEAN: Act Urgently on Myanmar, Talk to All Parties

[AFP] ASEAN should speed up diplomatic efforts on Myanmar, top U.S. and Indonesian diplomats said Wednesday amid indications that some officials from the Southeast Asian bloc may travel to the strife-torn country this week. Wendy Sherman, America’s second-highest ranking diplomat, said action by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations was urgently needed to deal with the crisis in Myanmar, where the military has unleashed violence on pro-democracy protesters after it toppled an elected government four months ago.  “We know that ASEAN is consulting with all in the region as wanting to be successful in the narrative and engagement. They should be in contact with the military leaders in Burma as well as all democratic parties in Burma. We hope that happens as soon as possible,” Sherman, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, told reporters in Bangkok.
