HANOI -- Myanmar faces a difficult path to implementing a cease-fire between the military and ethnic armed groups, the ASEAN special envoy charged with helping mediate the crisis in the country said Wednesday.
"Neither side seems to have been prepared to accept" the extended cease-fire announced during Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's visit in January, his Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn told reporters after his first trip to Myanmar in the role with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
