ASEAN foreign ministers held an emergency meeting on Myanmar. They are discussing how to deal with the military council at the ASEAN Summit next month. No announcement has been made yet. The Singapore minister said that the time has come for ASEAN to make difficult decisions. Next year, Indonesia will be the rotating chairman. Anyway, the highest action ASEAN can take against the military council is to expel Myanmar from ASEAN. If ASEAN kicks Myanmar out, the military council will not do anything. There will be no harm to military council. As long as Myanmar’s affairs are placed in the hands of ASEAN, it will be at the discretion of the military council.
