ASEAN names top Brunei diplomat as Myanmar envoy

ASEAN's foreign ministers said in a joint statement, delayed by internal wrangling, that they welcomed the appointment of Brunei Second Foreign Minister Erywan Yusof as the bloc's special envoy.

ASEAN, which operates on a premise of consensus and non-interference, has been under global pressure to help resolve the crisis. Blinken's deputy, Wendy Sherman, in turn spoke by telephone with Zin Mar Aung, who has been designated as foreign minister in a government in exile formed after Aung San Suu Kyi was deposed.

ASEAN's joint communique said the envoy's task will include "building trust and confidence" and he will have "full access to all parties concerned".Yusof has already made one trip to Myanmar for ASEAN since the coup, on June 4, where he met with Min Aung Hlaing.

Who decide? Brunei diplomat as ASEAN representatives to Myanmar. No doubt with approval from Myanmar coup Military dictators. ASEAN should stick to no interference stance. Better for the people of Myanmar.
