TOKYO -- The Japanese government has taken a step toward cementing ties with the National League for Democracy, following the party's landslide victory in Myanmar's Nov. 8 election.
Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida met here Friday with Nyan Win, the NLD's No. 2 official and a close aide to party leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Kishida promised to support the launch next spring of a new government, which is to be led by the NLD, and invited Suu Kyi to visit Japan at an early date.
Nyan Win told Kishida that Myanmar needs Japanese investment and technology. Nyan Win is scheduled to stay here through Thursday, conferring with government and business leaders. He is rumored as a possible presidential candidate as Myanmar's constitution blocks Suu Kyi -- with sons who are U.K. citizens -- from becoming president.
"The NLD has almost no knowledge of government, and we are in a position to introduce Japanese-style administration methods," a Japanese government official said.
