Prime Minister Abe “Returning Rohingya” Meeting with Suu Kyi National Advisory October 21 15:22

Prime Minister Abe met with Myanmar's Aun San Suu Kyi national adviser in Myanmar to attend the “Imperial Religion Ceremony” on the 22nd. He called for taking appropriate measures for the prompt return of evacuated minority and Rohingya people.

The meeting was held on the 21st morning at the guesthouse in Minato-ku, Tokyo for approximately 15 minutes.

In this session, Prime Minister Abe expressed his intention to continue to support the creation of a democratic country in Myanmar, which Aung San Suu Kyi adviser is working on.

Furthermore, regarding the suspicion of human rights violations against minority Muslims and Rohingyas who are evacuating to neighboring Bangladesh, it is essential that the Myanmar government and the military take appropriate measures promptly and return to return. “Environmental maintenance is also important,” he called for taking appropriate measures.

In response, Mr. Suu Kyi responded, “I am willing to respond correctly without taking the necessary steps.”

Prime Minister Abe also met with President Sori of Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, saying, “Maldives is an important partner in the key points of maritime traffic routes and we would like to strengthen cooperation with the United States and India.” They agreed to strengthen cooperation toward the realization of the Indo-Pacific that was opened in Japan.
