The appeal by foreign ministers of ASEAN--made up of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and the Philippines--came a day after the group proposed indirect peace talks between Hanoi and an alliance of three major resistance groups led by former Cambodian monarch Prince Norodom Sihanouk.
