	Burma, Laos formally join ASEAN
	*******************************

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Reuter) - Burma and Laos were formally admitted as 
the newest
members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) on 
Wednesday, but Cambodia
was left on the sidelines due to its political troubles. 

At a ceremony during its 30th anniversary meetings, Burma and Laos 
foreign ministers signed
documents of admission which were then turned over to the ASEAN 
secretariat.
