ASEAN's Myanmar Dilemma

ASEAN is facing growing criticism for its handling of the Myanmar crisis, with analysts saying the bloc is 'dropping the ball' on the country's humanitarian needs, per Lowy Institute.

The regional grouping's envoy has concluded a visit to Myanmar, but questions remain over the effectiveness of ASEAN's diplomatic efforts in addressing the ongoing conflict, The Diplomat reports.

Meanwhile, India and Myanmar are strengthening defense ties through their 8th staff talks, indicating continued strategic cooperation despite regional tensions, Avenuemail.in notes.
