ASEAN meet on Myanmar aid set for May 19
May 14, 2008: (Reuters) Bangkok: Thailand confirmed on Monday foreign
ministers from 10 Southeast Asian nations would meet in Singapore next
Monday to discuss ways to help cyclone-stricken Myanmar.
Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman Tharit Charungvat said the ministers
would "discuss ways and means to help Myanmar at this one-day meeting"
in Singapore, the current chair of the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN).
The meeting comes after Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo wrote
to his Myanmar counterpart Nyan Win last Friday, a Singapore Foreign
Ministry statement.
As many as 100,000 people are feared to have died in the cyclone that
hit Myanmar eight days ago.
The U.N. humanitarian agency said in a new assessment that between 1.2
million and 1.9 million people were struggling to survive in the
aftermath of the storm.
