ASEAN Myanmar

The move follows the military government's repeated stalling and lack of cooperation on the implementation of a regional peace plan.

ASEAN's patience with the junta is wearing thin. But can it muster the consensus necessary to take a harder line?

Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah once again condemned the junta's lack of cooperation on the implementation of an ASEAN consensus agreement.

Erywan Yusof is hoping to visit the country before the next ASEAN Summit in late October.

The envoy's mission relies on good faith commitment on the part of the junta, but this remains unlikely.

The Southeast Asian bloc shouldn't be expected to take on more than it is capable of or willing to do.

Brunei’s Erywan Yusof faces an uphill struggle in bringing the country’s contending factions into a process of dialogue.

After three months of deadlock, the Southeast Asian bloc finally settled on a candidate.

A candidate was expected to be announced at yesterday’s Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, but the bloc appears deadlocked on a number of issues.

Brunei’s adherence to the “ASEAN way” seeks a diplomatic solution to the crisis that also preserves the unity and continued relevance of the organization.

Neither has shown that it has the ability, let alone the willingness, to address the country's escalating crisis.
