For the first time, an annual ASEAN meeting ended last week without a joint statement. A draft was prepared and approved by other ASEAN member-nations but was essentially vetoed by host Cambodia, a close ally of China. The draft has not been made public but could have contained references to disputes in the West Philippine Sea. Manix Abrera
Thailand invaded Cambodia in 2008 and Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979 which broke the backbone of ASEAN unity!
