Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida is considering visiting Myanmar during the Golden Week holiday period and holding a meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi, it was learned Tuesday.
He would be Japan’s first Cabinet minister to visit Myanmar since the new administration led by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy was launched last month.
Through the envisaged meeting with Suu Kyi, who is Myanmar’s prodemocracy icon and now serves as state adviser, Kishida hopes to help Japan speed up efforts to establish a relationship of trust with Myanmar, sources familiar with the matter said. (Courtesy of The Japan Times)
