ASEAN leaders summit begins without Myanmar representative

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Oct 26 (Reuters) – A summit of Southeast Asian leaders started in Brunei on Tuesday without a representative of military-ruled Myanmar at the virtual meeting.

Myanmar’s junta late on Monday signaled that it would not attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit unless it could send a member of its top leadership.
