SINGAPORE: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) must reiterate its guiding principles, including adherence to democracy and respect for human rights when it comes to the situation in Myanmar, failing which member states will have no choice but to state their individual positions on the issue, said Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan on Tuesday (Mar 2).
Such an outcome, however, would only underscore the lack of unity in the grouping, he added.
