ASEAN Summit Opens, as Myanmar Sheds Pariah Tag

Description:The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) kicked off its biannual summit in Cambodia Tuesday, basking in the glow that its "inclusive" approach to Myanmar appears to have paid off. Often criticised for its policy of "non-interference" in members' affairs, ASEAN was roundly chastised when it admitted Myanmar into the bloc nearly 15 years ago. Critics pounced again when ASEAN promised Myanmar the rotating chairmanship in 2014 after Yangon implemented a series of reforms. (2:41)
