Myanmar Junta Leader Not Invited To ASEAN Summit: Cambodia

Phnom Penh, Oct 5 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th Oct, 2022 ) :Myanmar's junta leader has not been invited to a regional summit next month, host Cambodia said Wednesday, in a fresh diplomatic snub for the isolated military regime.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has led diplomatic efforts to resolve the turmoil that has gripped Myanmar since the military seized power last year.
But there has been little progress on a "five-point consensus" agreed with the junta, and its leader and ministers have been shut out of recent meetings of the 10-member regional bloc.
Linking the invitation to "progress in the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus", a Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman said the junta had been invited to "nominate a non-political representative for the upcoming ASEAN Summits".
This means junta chief Min Aung Hlaing would not be allowed to attend, just as his top diplomat was barred from foreign ministers' gatherings in Phnom Penh in February and August.
The five-point plan, agreed in April last year, calls for an immediate end to violence and dialogue between the military and the anti-coup movement.
The junta's execution of four prisoners in July, in defiance of widespread international calls for clemency, caused further anger.
August's meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers ended with a rare condemnation from the bloc for the junta's actions.
The ministers said they were "deeply disappointed by the limited progress in and lack of commitment of the Naypyidaw authorities to the timely and complete implementation of the five point consensus".
ASEAN's own envoy tasked with brokering peace has admitted the scale of the task, saying "even Superman cannot solve" the crisis.
