Sarah Cliffe, CIC executive director, provides comment to Radio Free Asia on the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia and how ASEAN leaders had the opportunity to lead on Myanmar, but time is running short.
“ASEAN has an opportunity to lead on Myanmar – with the kind of regional leadership it took in persuading the then military junta to grant humanitarian access after Cyclone Narghis in 2008 – but the time is running short to show that the ‘ASEAN way’ can deliver results.”
