Myanmar seeks to assure others of commitment to reform at US-ASEAN summit

The US-ASEAN Summit will take place on American soil for the first time next week, with Myanmar planning to call on participating leaders for their continued support for the new government.

The summit would have been the last international event for the Union Solidarity and Development Party's (USDP) Thein Sein as President before stepping down at the end of next month.

However, he cancelled at the last minute giving no reason, sending Vice President Nyan Htun instead. Myanmar's Foreign Affairs, National Planning and Information Ministers will be accompanying him. (Courtesy of Channel NewsAsia)
