LUANG PRABANG, Laos -- ASEAN members' foreign ministers on Monday agreed to send humanitarian assistance to Myanmar, the first such move by the bloc since a military takeover created a political crisis in the country in February 2021.
The ASEAN Ministerial Meeting Retreat took place in the World Heritage site of Luang Prabang, the first major event under Laos' ASEAN chairmanship after it took over the bloc's annually rotating role from Indonesia.
