The government is stepping up efforts to develop a relationship with Myanmar’s top opposition force, the National League for Democracy, after its landslide victory in the general election earlier this month.
Also, Japanese businesses have a high interest in Myanmar’s abundant and cheap labor.
With China also beginning to build ties with the incoming Myanmar government, Japan plans to mobilize public-private efforts to provide assistance to Myanmar, which China invested in heavily while it was under military rule, officials said.
On Friday, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida held talks with Nyan Win, visiting spokesman for the NLD and member of the party’s central executive committee. At the meeting, Kishida called for pro-democracy icon and NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi to make a visit to Japan soon.
