Asean envoy set for 3-day Myanmar visit later this month

A Southeast Asian special envoy is due to visit Myanmar from March 20-23, a Cambodian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, in an effort to initiate a peace process in a country gripped by conflict triggered by a coup a year ago.

Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn who is also the current chair of Asean, last month urged Myanmar's ruling generals to allow him to meet all stakeholders there, including its outlawed opponents.
