Asean to Myanmar leader: Don't go to meet

PHNOM PENH: Myanmar's junta leader has not been invited to a regional summit next month, host Cambodia said on Wednesday, in a fresh diplomatic snub for the isolated military regime.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) has led diplomatic efforts to resolve the turmoil that has gripped Myanmar since the military seized power on Feb. 1, 2021, and ousted the elected government of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung Sang Suu Kyi.
