Southeast Asian leaders will on Tuesday converge on the Indonesian capital for an annual summit amid rifts within the 10-member regional bloc over stalled peace efforts in Myanmar and a sharpening U.S.-China rivalry in the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is seeking to clarify its relevance as cracks emerge in its response to the conflict in Myanmar, where the military seized power in a bloody coup in 2021.
A lack of progress has increased frustration and exposed internal divisions in a bloc that prioritises unity and non-interference in members' sovereign affairs.all stakeholders in Myanmar, but unilateral moves by Thailand to include the country's shunned military leaders, who are banned from attending high-level ASEAN meetings, have dented the bloc's credibility and led to division among member states.
"Obituaries on ASEAN actually have been written many times over, but somehow all those times, ASEAN has been able to reinvent itself and reassert its relevance. I feel today we are at one of those junctures," he said on Monday.
