Cambodia, which chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, has announced that it will postpone the foreign ministers' meeting scheduled for next week.
It is possible that the different attitudes of the member countries regarding the response to the situation in Myanmar, which continues to be confused after the coup d'etat, may have affected the situation.
The ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting was scheduled to be held face-to-face in Siem Reap in northern Cambodia from the 18th to the 19th of this month, but Cambodia, the presidency of this year, announced the postponement on the 12th.
It is unusual for the postponement to be decided shortly before the meeting, explaining why it was "difficult to visit many foreign ministers."
It does not mention new dates or how to hold it.
ASEAN does not allow top military leaders to attend the summit, partly because the military continues to crack down on Democrats in Myanmar, but Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen is a member of all. He has shown his intention to hold the event in Cambodia, and is promoting his own diplomacy, such as visiting Myanmar on the 7th of this month to meet with the top of the military.
On the other hand, there are concerns from other member countries that "it may justify the rule of the military", and the postponement of this foreign ministers' meeting is that the attitudes of the member countries are different regarding the response to the situation in Myanmar. It may have affected.
