Since the detention of Suu Kyi, the EU Troika has carried out a series of demarches in the region. These contacts have taken place with several of the Foreign Ministries of members of ASEAN, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore, and, in the wider region, India, China and Japan. At the recent 36th ASEAN ministerial meeting in Phnom Penh on 16 and 17 June, in an unusual departure from ASEAN's policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of its member states, the Foreign Ministers engaged in a reportedly frank exchange regarding recent developments in Burma to which an unprecedented reference was made in the final communiqué.
