Pan across leaders linking arms on stage during photo opportunity\u003cbr/\u003e26. Wide of leaders on stage\u003cbr/\u003eThe leaders of ten Asian nations convened in Thailand on Saturday for the official opening of the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).\u003cbr/\u003ePreceded by two days of preliminary meetings, the summit officially opened in the resort town of Cha-Am, 120 miles (200 kilometres) south of the capital Bangkok, with a ceremony marked by the international debut of ASEAN's new anthem, \"The ASEAN Way.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn his opening address Thai Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, stressed that \"ASEAN will put people first - in its vision, in its policies, and in its action plans.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut two hours earlier, civil society representatives from Myanmar and Cambodia were barred from a scheduled meeting with the bloc's leaders, delegates said.\u003cbr/\u003eKhin Ohnmar, one of the Myanmar representatives, is a prominent activist who was awarded Sweden's Anna Lindh human rights prize last year.\u003cbr/\u003eThe activist said she was informed that if any Myanmar representative attended the meeting it would be cancelled.\u003cbr/\u003eThe rare, 30-minute interface between other civil society representatives and the ASEAN leaders went ahead without the Myanmar and Cambodian delegates who were invited to meet later with the Thai prime minister.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking outside after the meeting, Debbie Stothard, a representative of ALTSEAN (Alternative Asean Network) Burma, said that if those governments could not \"bear to be in the same room as civil society from their countries, it's a very clear indication of what they are doing to their own people in their own countries.\"\u003cbr/\u003eStohard was part of a civil society delegation but was not one of the delegates invited or excluded from the meeting with leaders.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother delegate, Soe Aung from the National Council of the Union of Burma, said that the actions \"totally\" contradicted a new charter set out by ASEAN.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the summit ASEAN are set to endorse an early warning system to defuse conflicts that could derail their goal of becoming a European Union-like community by 2015, according to a confidential document obtained on Saturday by The Associated Press.\u003cbr/\u003eThe blueprint for peace in the highly diverse region where conflicts still erupt was to be adopted Sunday at the climax of the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation.\u003cbr/\u003e\"More efforts are needed in strengthening the existing modes of pacific settlement of disputes to avoid or settle future disputes,\" says the final draft of the ASEAN Political-Security Community Blueprint.\u003cbr/\u003eIt outlines a long \"wish list,\" ranging from fighting piracy, terrorism and cyber crime to promoting democracy and good governance.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is envisaged that the (blueprint) will bring ASEAN's political and security cooperation to a higher plane,\" it says.\u003cbr/\u003eBut officials of the 10-member bloc stress that numerous stumbling blocks remain on the road to true economic, political and security integration.\u003cbr/\u003eASEAN, which encompasses a region of more than 500 (m) million people, includes among its members two communist regimes, two constitutional monarchies, a military dictatorship and fledgling democracies.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Southeast Asia has not seen major conflicts since the Vietnam War era, tensions and confrontations persist.\u003cbr/\u003eThailand and Cambodia narrowly avoided a shootout last year in an ongoing dispute over an ancient temple along their common border, and territorial claims remain unresolved in the resource-rich South China Sea.\u003cbr/\u003eBloody Muslim insurgencies plague southern Thailand and the southern Philippines.\u003cbr/\u003eASEAN traditionally shies away from criticising its members, although some leaders said democratic reform and human rights abuses in Myanmar were being discussed on the sidelines of the meetings, and a forthcoming human rights body is being hailed as a major landmark in the bloc's four-decade history.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile human rights issues are getting some attention, leaders say the summit is focusing on the global economic meltdown and how the export-dependent region can best cope with the crisis.\u003cbr/\u003eThe summit, hosted by current chair Thailand, is the first since the group signed a landmark charter in December making ASEAN a legal entity and moving it a step closer to its goal of integration.\u003cbr/\u003eASEAN's 10 members include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
