ASEAN envoys meet Myanmar junta chief: state TV

Two envoys from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) held talks in Myanmar with military ruler Min Aung Hlaing, army-run TV reported, as part of a visit aimed at ending a bloody crisis in the country.

The junta leader met ASEAN Secretary-General Lim Jock Hoi and Erywan Yusof, the second minister for foreign affairs for Brunei, ASEAN's chair, Myawaddy TV reported. State-run MRTV said the envoys also met two military-appointed ministers.

ASEAN has led the main international diplomatic effort to find a way out of the crisis in Myanmar, triggered by a Feb. 1 military coup.

Internet outages across Myanmar

Military-ruled Myanmar experienced a widespread internet outage around the country on Friday, but services resumed after about one hour in the biggest city Yangon, witnesses said.

Broadband, mobile internet and wireless services were disrupted, several witnesses told Reuters by telephone. A military spokesman did not answer a call seeking comment and the country's main telecoms operators could not immediately be reached.
