Leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations member countries will meet on Saturday to discuss how to respond to the situation in Myanmar.
The secretariat of ASEAN says a summit-level meeting will be held in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
Myanmar's military leader, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, is reportedly expressing his intention to attend the meeting.
Myanmar apparently intends to justify the military coup, and hopes to win ASEAN support for its plan to hold general elections after lifting a year-long state of emergency declaration.
But in Myanmar, some protestors say the senior general is not a national representative, while others question whether the ASEAN states would approve of military rule.
The documents NHK has obtained show that some ASEAN members hope to discuss an appeal for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and others. They also want to discuss the need for talks among concerned parties to achieve a peaceful resolution.
All eyes are on whether the ASEAN can propose responses that can effectively deal with the situation.

The Japanese Embassy in Myanmar has lodged a protest against the detention of a Japanese journalist by security forces.
Kitazumi Yuki was detained at his apartment in Yangon on Sunday after about 50 security personnel surrounded the building.
Embassy officials said they were told by police that Kitazumi is accused of spreading misinformation.
Based on the criminal law revised after the coup, the Myanmar military has been taking into custody journalists and high-profile persons for spreading misinformation and other charges. They could face up to three years in prison if convicted.
Police said Kitazumi, who is imprisoned in Yangon, is not injured.
The embassy officials are demanding that they be allowed to visit him in prison and that he be released. They say the military has not complied so far.

NHK has learned that the Japan Coast Guard is considering introducing unmanned aircraft for its operations, such as search and rescue, or surveillance of suspicious foreign ships.
The agency conducted tests in October, using a drone from a US defense firm.
Coast Guard officials say they confirmed from the tests that their pilots can operate the aircraft remotely, if trained properly.
They say they also confirmed that an automatic safety system works to avoid crashes with other aircraft, and high-performance cameras can send images on a real-time basis even at night.
The officials concluded that the drones can serve in search and rescue operations, responding to disasters, cracking down on crimes, as well as patrolling territorial waters.
The agency is studying specific matters, such as ways to operate and where to deploy the drones, with a plan to introduce them in the next fiscal year starting in April 2022, or later.

The tsunami that hit northeastern Japan 10 years ago robbed many people of their lifeline to music. In schools, homes and private classrooms, as many as 500 pianos are thought to have been destroyed. Since then, a leading Japanese pianist has been sending donated pianos to the region, and with them hope for the future.
