TOKYO —
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada said Friday that Tokyo will not expand economic aid to Myanmar as earlier proposed unless the junta ensures the participation of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and anyone concerned in the country’s general election this year.
Okada conveyed the stance to Myanmar Ambassador to Japan U Hla Myint the same day, and also said at a news conference he would like to discuss the situation in Myanmar during bilateral meetings with his counterparts expected to take place on the sidelines of a Group of Eight foreign ministerial meeting to be held in Canada next week.
