SINGAPORE, April 24 (Reuters) - Singapore Prime Minister Lee
Hsien Loong said on Saturday Myanmar junta leader Min Aung
Hlaing was not opposed to a visit by a delegation from the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), according to a
local media report.
"He said he heard us, he would take the points in which he
considered helpful, that he was not opposed to ASEAN playing a
constructive role, or an ASEAN delegation visit, or humanitarian
assistance, and that they would move forward and engage with
ASEAN in a constructive way," Lee said in comments reported by
broadcaster Channel NewsAsia on its website.
He was speaking after ASEAN crisis meeting on Myanmar, aimed
at persuading Min Aung Hlaing, who led the military takeover in
February that sparked turmoil in his country, to help forge a
path to end the violence.
