Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) member states are working to come up with additional steps or adjustments to measures dealing with Myanmar, which has been ruled by the military since a coup in February 2021, following the junta's execution of four people including two pro-democracy activists late last month.
The executions, conducted the week before a series of Asean-sponsored foreign ministerial meetings in Phnom Penh starting Wednesday, drew swift international condemnation, setting back efforts to restore peace in Myanmar.
