JAKARTA, Feb 3 — Indonesia told major powers not to use Southeast Asia as a

"proxy" for their rivalries today at the start of two-day talks between regional foreign ministers, while also calling for unity and progress on the Myanmar crisis.

Disputes over the South China Sea have pitted some Asean members against Beijing and boosted sympathy for US opposition to China's growing assertiveness, but others have shown support on issues in line with the Asian superpower. Another issue dominating talks was the crisis in military-ruled Myanmar, which has been in turmoil since the army seized power in 2021.

Myanmar's foreign minister Than Swe — appointed this week — was not present at the Asean talks today, the bloc having declined to invite a junta member and only requesting a"non-political representative" — an offer rejected by Naypyidaw.
