KUALA LUMPUR -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's visit to Myanmar should have been avoided, Malaysia's top diplomat said Thursday, noting that it did no good to ongoing mediation efforts between ASEAN and the military government.
Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said Hun Sen should have consulted other ASEAN leaders before embarking on the visit especially when Cambodia's position as the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations would paint the wrong picture that the pact is recognizing the military regime, which ousted the country's elected government in February last year.
