PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is seeking to reschedule a summit meeting of its leaders with US President Joe Biden, Cambodian and Indonesian officials said Thursday, March 10, 2022.
The dates, which had been proposed by the US for the special summit in Washington, would not allow all heads of government to attend, Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah said Thursday in the Indonesian capital Jakarta. The White House last month had announced the March 28-29 summit as an opportunity to demonstrate the US commitment to the bloc and a chance to mark 45 years of US-Asean relations. There was no immediate comment from Washington to the postponement announcements.
Its members have been at odds with each other over the crisis in Myanmar, which has been wracked by violent unrest since the army ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February last year.
