Sihasak Phuangketkeow, a former permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, admitted that it’s obvious that the military regime in Naypyidaw is “buying time” by not responding to the five-point consensus adopted by the ASEAN leaders during their summit in Jakarta in late April.

ASEAN did nothing at the first meeting and they will do nothing at the next. How can one military dictatorship tell another what to do? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
