Representatives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have met with Myanmar’s junta leader, six weeks after an emergency regional summit on the coup in the country produced no tangible results.

State broadcaster MRTV showed senior general Min Aung Hlaing meeting with Brunei second foreign minister Erywan Yusof and ASEAN secretary-general Lim Jock Hoi, but provided only a broad outline of their discussions.
