appreciation for the update on the latest U.S. response to
recent developments in Burma, but had no information on any
possible additional steps that Japan might take. He said
Japan continued to monitor the situation closely, and was

be doing more, Kuwabara noted, and hoped to hear positive
news from Gambari's recent meetings in China.
