KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysia's foreign minister Tuesday pressed for an "urgent meeting" among his ASEAN counterparts after the Myanmar junta ordered Aung San Suu Kyi to stay under house arrest for 18 months.
"I think there is a need for ASEAN foreign ministers to have an urgent meeting to discuss this issue, which is of grave concern," Foreign Minister Anifah Aman told Agence France-Presse.
"With this sentence there is no possibility for Aung San Suu Kyi to participate in the general election next year which should be free, fair and inclusive," he added.
