Regional pariah. The Junta boss.  Min Aung Hlaing’s message to Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) its 57th anniversary was loud & clear: Don'tt intervene in Myanmar’s issues.

Junta boss declared on Thursday that all members should “cooperate constructively” regarding the domestic affairs of any member country. His call for cooperation strained belief, coming after three years during which the military dictator has ignored the five-point consensus he agreed upon with leaders of the other nine member states

Though most ASEAN members have shunned the regime, Thailand has offered to assist the junta with its controversial planned census and national election, despite the plan being widely dismissed as a sham to extend the military’s control over the country.

Earlier this month, Min Aung Hlaing dispatched minister Ko Ko Hlaing his special envoy to Cambodia to discuss trade qeconomic cooperation plus plans to commemorate 70 years of diplomatic ties next year. Junta is desperate for support from individual members who is banned from ASEAN meetings as he ignoring fove point plan’s call to end violence and launch peace talks.
