KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah on Monday called on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to act more urgently in its efforts to provide humanitarian assistance and spur a peace process in junta-ruled Myanmar.
The 10-nation bloc has been pushing Myanmar's military rulers to follow a peace "consensus" they agreed to last year, with some member countries expressing disappointment over a lack of progress on the plan.
