PoliticsMyanmar pushes back against ASEAN envoy and calls to free Suu Kyi

Myanmar’s military-backed government has rejected the position taken by ASEAN’s special envoy for the country, which remains torn by war. The response came days after Myanmar’s leader made a landmark visit to Thailand. Thailand is pressing its neighbour to resume full engagement with the regional bloc and is also calling for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi. The dispute highlights continuing friction between Myanmar’s authorities and ASEAN over the country’s crisis.
