Japan’s Kishida meets Suu Kyi, expresses full support for new government

Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida met Tuesday with Myanmar’s state counselor and de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and expressed Tokyo’s full support for the country’s new administration.

Kishida became the first Japanese Cabinet member to meet the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who also holds the post of foreign minister, since the new administration was launched in the Southeast Asian country in March.

At a joint news conference after the meeting, Kishida said both the public and private sectors of Japan will be fully behind the Myanmar government. (Courtesy of The Japan Times)
