The Foreign Affairs chief was in Jakarta over the weekend to attend the ASEAN special summit on Myanmar on behalf of President Duterte, who was not able to attend the summit personally because of security issues.
“Then one after another the leaders spoke with equal candor of the ASEAN family’s concern. It felt like a close family meeting about a family problem,” Locsin said in a Twitter post.
The floor was opened about ASEAN’s concern about Myanmar after Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen spoke of “his personal experience in the struggle for power in post-Pol Pot Cambodia.”
