The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has invited Myanmar junta representatives to a September security conference and training programme in the United States (US), according to the US Department of Defense.

Khin Ohmar, chair of the Myanmar human rights organisation Progressive Voice, called for the junta’s invitation to the Hawaii conference to be revoked, and for the Myanmar military to be barred from all ADMM-Plus events.
