ASEAN could shift approach to Myanmar after Suu Kyi meeting, says analyst

Detained former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi's meeting with an International Committee of the Red Cross representative on Monday (Aug 3) could signal a broader shift in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) approach to Myanmar, according to Enze Han, associate professor of politics and public administration at the University of Hong Kong. Speaking to CNA's Asia Now, Han says the meeting may pave the way for greater ASEAN-wide engagement with Myanmar's government, a reduced emphasis on the Five-Point Consensus, and the country's gradual return to a more prominent role within the regional bloc.
