 ASEAN until the conflict over his position is resolved.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) decided to postpone Cambodia's  admission after second premier Hun Sen launched a military take-over and deposed  Ranariddh.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Wednesday, ASEAN welcomed Burma and Laos as new members but said it would  continue to delay Cambodia's membership indefinitely.\u003cbr/\u003eBurma and Laos joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on  Wednesday, bringing the 30-year-old regional group another step closer to its founders'  vision of \"One Southeast Asia.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe two countries were officially welcomed into ASEAN during the association's annual  foreign ministers meeting in Kuala Lumpur.\u003cbr/\u003eCambodia had also been scheduled to join the regional grouping Wednesday, but  ASEAN members decided earlier this month to postpone its admission following Hun  Sen's coup.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking as ASEAN's regional group chairman, Malaysia's Foreign Minister Abdullah  Ahmad Badawi offered a warm welcome to the two countries.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"It gives me great pleasure to welcome you at this point when your respective countries  are on the verge of joining the ASEAN family.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, ASEAN regional group chairman and  Malaysian Foreign Minister \u003cbr/\u003eASEAN's decision to admit Burma has met fierce opposition from human rights groups  which condemn Rangoon's military regime and its repression of the country's pro- democracy movement.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever Abdullah defended the move, saying it was necessary to engage, not isolate,  Burma.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Bringing, engaging Myanmar (Burma) continually as of now, it will be good for all of us,  for all members of ASEAN.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, ASEAN regional group chairman and  Malaysian Foreign Minister \u003cbr/\u003eMalaysian political observer Noordin Sopiee echoed Abdullah's statement, stressing the  importance of

We're going to be stronger because look at the situation,  China, Japan, the United States, India and so on - ten (members) is better than seven,  okay? Economic potential, there is tremendous potential in Laos. Don't be surprised in  50 years time if Laos is one of the richest countries on earth, okay?  Don't be surprised  if in 20 years time Myanmar (Burma) will be one of the miracles of not only Asia, but of  the world.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Tan Sri Dato Noordin Sopiee, Chairman and CEO of Institute of  Strategic and International Studies of Malaysia\u003cbr/\u003eVietnam's admission into ASEAN last year sparked widespread optimism in Southeast  Asia that intra-regional conflict was no longer an issue.\u003cbr/\u003eStephen Solarz, the US envoy on the Cambodian crisis, met Cambodia's Foreign  Minister Ung Huot.\u003cbr/\u003eSolarz did not disclose details of the meeting, but he did say Ung Huot was in a  delicate position.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Yeah, a very constructive discussion with the foreign minister and I know (US)  Secretary (of State Madeleine) Albright will be eager to share views with him when she  comes here on Saturday.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Stephen Solarz, US envoy\u003cbr/\u003eBefore the admission of Laos and Burma, ASEAN members included the Philippines,  Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam.\u003cbr/\u003ePetaling Jaya near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - 23 July 1997\u003cbr/\u003e1.
