There’s been no significant progress on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ five-point peace proposal for Myanmar that would include ending violence and committing to free elections, according to Indonesia President Joko Widodo.
“Asean unity is needed to formulate the way forward,” Indonesia’s leader said Thursday as the two-day summit wraps up in the island of Labuan Bajo. “But the issue of Myanmar must not hinder the accelerated development of the Asean community, cause this is what we have been waiting for.”
