By this weekend, the world will find out whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) -- under Indonesian chairmanship -- will be able to overcome challenges in Myanmar's peace process and bridge the divisions among various stakeholders.
Asean leaders have scheduled a 90-minute retreat at the end of the 42nd summit on May 11 in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, to review the progress, or the lack of it, on the current situation of the beleaguered member. By the end of their meeting, Asean will come up with appropriate measures to propel the bloc's peace mission in Myanmar.
