The Association of South-east Asian Nations (ASEAN) will be forced to reconsider a peace plan agreed with Myanmar if the country's military rulers conduct more executions of prisoners, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen says.
"If more prisoners are executed, we will be forced to rethink... our role vis-a-vis ASEAN's five-point consensus," said Mr Hun Sen, who is the current chair of ASEAN and was speaking at the start of a meeting of the group's foreign ministers.
The Prime Minister said that while the five-point consensus had "not advanced to everyone's wishes" there had been some progress including in providing humanitarian aid. Cambodia and other ASEAN member states "are deeply disappointed and disturbed by the execution of those opposition activists, despite the appeals from me and others for the death sentences to be reconsidered", Mr Hun Sen said.Executions 'make mockery' of peace plan
