ASEAN may reconsider Myanmar's hosting of 2006 summit
Dec 9 (Kyodo) - Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said Thursday that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will review whether Myanmar is "worthy" to host the 10-member grouping's annual summit in 2006 if no concrete progress is made in resolving the political situation in that country.
"We want a concrete progress between now and the summit in Kuala Lumpur next year, so we can evaluate whether it is worthy or not for Myanmar to be the host of ASEAN Summit," Wirajuda told a hearing of a House of Representatives commission dealing with foreign affairs.
He also said Indonesia has urged Myanmar to determine a time frame to release pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from detention.
