The ASEAN summit, which the military junta did not attend, has ended. US President Donald Trump attended, but did not mention Myanmar at all. East Timor, which the military junta opposed, has also become a member of ASEAN. Due to differences of opinion among member states, ASEAN will no longer send observers to the fake elections held by the military junta. Each country will decide on its own whether to send representatives. The Philippines will take over the ASEAN chairmanship next year.
