Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said on Monday the regional bloc ASEAN must play a key role in ending the protracted civil war in Myanmar, ahead of a summit of the leaders of the 10-member group in Laos this week.

"ASEAN must play an important role in bringing peace back to Myanmar as soon as possible," Paetongtarn told an event in Bangkok.
