JAKARTA: Indonesia has for months been quietly engaging Myanmar's pro-democracy shadow government, its ruling junta and ethnic minority armies, its foreign minister said, in an effort to kick-start a peace process as violence intensifies.
As chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) this year, Indonesia has been working intensively behind the scenes to deescalate the crisis in Myanmar, Retno Marsudi said in an interview, highlighting for the first time her country's moves to try to bring to the table the key players in Myanmar's conflict.
