Myanmar junta welcome at ASEAN if progress made: Cambodia PM

PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday said he had invited Myanmar's junta chief to a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations , on the condition that progress is made on a peace plan he agreed to last year.

Hun Sen, the current ASEAN chair, said he would talk to military chief Min Aung Hlaing by video call on Wednesday, noting that since their face-to-face talks earlier this month, ousted Myanmar leaderMin Aung Hlaing led a coup in Myanmar last year and ASEAN made a surprise move in barring the junta from important meetings, over its failure to implement an agreed five-point ASEAN"consensus" on ceasing hostilities and allowing dialogue.

"He said that he had invited HE Min Aung Hlaing to attend the ASEAN summit if there was progress in the implementation of the five points agreed unanimously," said a statement on Hun Sen's Facebook page, summarising his call on Tuesday with Malaysia's prime minister.
