The United States urged ASEAN to press Myanmar to implement actions agreed at a regional summit last month, as Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with the foreign minister of Brunei, the bloc’s current chair, in London on Monday, RFA reported.

The two top diplomats held talks amid reports that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations was trying to draw the United States and China into diplomacy aimed at restoring democracy and ending violence in Myanmar after the Burmese military overthrew an elected government on Feb. 1.

The diplomats discussed the role of Southeast Asian nations in resolving the crisis in Myanmar as Blinken and Bruneian Foreign Minister II Erywan Yusof held talks on the sidelines of a G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in the British capital, the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
