VIENTIANE — Australia's top diplomat on Saturday called on Myanmar's junta to 'take a different path' from its bloody crackdown on dissent, saying the situation in the war-torn country is 'not sustainable.'

Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong made the comments at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) foreign ministers meeting, where the crisis in member Myanmar has divided the bloc.
