Singapore's PM Lee Hsien Loong says the ASEAN should continue excluding Myanmar's junta from its meetings until it cooperates on agreed peace plans
Singapore's leader says that ASEAN should continue inviting a non-political representative from Myanmar to its meetings and any decision to change that"had to be based on new facts".
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in a video call on Friday urged the regional group's new chair, Cambodia, to engage all sides in Myanmar's conflict, Singapore's Foreign Ministry said on Saturday. Malaysia's foreign minister, Saifuddin Abdullah, made similar comments on Thursday, saying some ASEAN members felt Hun Sen should have discussed his trip with fellow leaders beforehand, as it could be seen as recognising the junta.Lee told Hun Sen any engagement with Myanmar needed to include "all parties concerned", including Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's ousted ruling party.
Lee responded these could be complicated because there had been no access to all parties, although Singapore did not object to the idea in principle.
