MANILA, July 10 (Reuters) – An upcoming meeting between foreign ministers of the Southeast Asian grouping ASEAN and their counterpart from Myanmar will tackle the country’s civil war and its engagement with the bloc after five years in the cold, the Philippines said on Friday.
As chair of the 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Philippines will lead Sunday’s gathering in Bangkok, the first in-person meeting with Myanmar’s top diplomat since a 2021 coup and ensuing conflict that led to the exclusion of the ruling generals from the bloc’s summits.
