KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 — Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday that leaders from the South-east Asian bloc Asean will consider developments in Myanmar following the first phase of its election over the weekend.

“Any assessment will proceed in a sequenced manner, guided by the need to reduce violence, avoid actions that could deepen divisions or confer premature legitimacy, and preserve the possibility of an inclusive and credible pathway forward,” Anwar said. — Reuters
