JAKARTA: Finding unity over how to deal with Myanmar’s junta continued to evade Southeast Asian nations on Thursday, as foreign ministers meeting in Jakarta struggled to agree on a communique that would include a reference to their neighbour’s internal strife.
Gathered in the Indonesian capital for their annual meeting, foreign ministers from the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) had been expected to issue a joint communique on Wednesday, but by late afternoon on Thursday there was still no sign of it.
