PHNOM PENH: A special envoy of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) is due to visit Myanmar from March 20 to 23, a Cambodian foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday, in an effort to initiate a peace process in a country gripped by conflict triggered by a coup a year ago.
Prak Sokhonn, the foreign minister of Cambodia, the current Asean chair, last month urged Myanmar's ruling generals to allow him to meet all stakeholders there, including its outlawed opponents.
