PHNOM PENH, Aug 6 (Reuters) – Cambodia’s foreign minister on Saturday said the Southeast Asian regional bloc ASEAN had decided that Myanmar’s ruling generals would remain barred from any of its meetings until they show progress on a peace plan.

Prak Sokhonn, a special envoy on Myanmar and chair of this week’s Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meetings, told a news conference the junta “must act in a way that shows progress is made then we will be able to act on a decision to show progress.”
