Myanmar Regime Decries ASEAN ‘Discrimination’ After Summit Snub
Myanmar’s military-backed government criticized ASEAN for “discriminatory measures” after junta chief Min Aung Hlaing was excluded from the ASEAN summit in the Philippines. The regime accused some ASEAN members of interfering in Myanmar’s internal affairs, while the regional bloc continues to refuse recognition of the junta’s controversial election and demands progress on its peace plan following the 2021 coup.
