PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – A regional envoy tasked with brokering peace in Myanmar admitted Saturday that “even Superman cannot solve” the crisis, capping a week of foreign ministerial meetings that ultimately yielded little progress. ASEAN special envoy Prak Sokhonn, who has made two trips to Myanmar since the coup, dampened expectations for major progress in the short term. “I am just a special envoy, I am not a superman,” he told reporters in Phnom Penh Saturday. After two visits of the special envoy, two visits only, some people start to lose patience and ask for results,” he added. The minister flagged a possible third trip to Myanmar in early September — contingent upon progress on the five-point plan.
