DVB Debate clip: 'This is not the right time for ASEAN chair' (English)
- 8 years ago
This week, DVB Debate discusses ASEAN.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, more commonly referred to as ASEAN, is a political and economic organization of ten countries in Southeast Asia.
ASEAN was formed in 1967, however, due to xenophobic policies under the former socialist regime and concerns over the country's human rights abuses, Burma did not become a member until 1997. This year, 2014, Burma has been allocated the chairmanship of ASEAN.
On the panel this week; Khin Ohmar from Burma
