Myanmar's ruling military has made no significant progress in implementing a Southeast Asian peace roadmap or given any feedback on the work of a regional envoy in the country, Indonesia's foreign minister said on Monday.

Most foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) at a meeting expressed disappointment at Myanmar, and would need to relay that message to their country's leaders, Retno Marsudi told a news conference.

She said ASEAN had offered to help stop the situation from worsening in Myanmar, which has been rocked by months of turmoil since a Feb. 1 coup, but its envoy had cited challenges with access to all parties in the country.
