Aung San Suu Kyi to attend her first ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting

Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi will attend her first ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting from Sunday (Jul 24).

Expectations are high on what she will say at the meeting in Vientiane, Laos, and some are advising her to take this moment to get acquainted with ASEAN's processes first.

An issue that threatens to divide ASEAN is the South China Sea, which is likely to be a key discussion topic at the meeting. Myanmar is not a claimant state, but many will be keen to hear what Ms Suu Kyi has to say on the issue. (Courtesy of channelnewsasia.com)
