TOKYO -- The international community faces a delicate balancing act in responding to Myanmar's worst crisis in decades -- and dwindling time to get it right -- experts explained on Thursday in a webinar organized by Nikkei Asia.

Titled "Myanmar's coup: How should the world react?" and hosted by Managing Editor Christopher Grimes, the event covered the implications of current sanctions and possible further curbs likely to be imposed by mainly Western governments.
