Myanmar needs to catch up with the rest of South-east Asia, as well as play a role in the Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean), even though its focus now is on domestic issues, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday (June 9).
And Singapore can help, both in terms of lending expertise, as well as in assisting Myanmar in playing its role within Asean, said Mr Lee, who wrapped up his official visit to the country with an interview with
Singaporean media.
“It (has) a long journey to go ... because I think over the years, Myanmar has fallen behind the rest of South-east Asia,” he said. (Courtesy of todayonline.com)
