1. (C) Embassy Tokyo delivered the Ref A demarche to MOFA
Deputy Directors Ken Ota, First Southeast Asia Division, and
Kazumi Yamada, United Nations Policy Division. Mr. Ota
stated that Japan is in agreement on the need to drop the
charges on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and release her from
detention. He pointed to the phone call -the first of its
kind for the Japanese- that Minister for Foreign Affairs
Hirofumi Nakasone had made to the Minister for Foreign
Affairs of the Union of Myanmar, U Nyan Win, and subsequent
press statements as evidence of the active and public role
Japan has assumed on this issue (Ref B). Mr. Ota stated, "The
Director General has also expressed our concern to the
Ambassador of Myanmar to Japan" (Ref C). In reference to the
U.S. request for support for Security Council action Mr.
Yamada stated, "Your mission in New York has circulated a
Presidential Statement. We have instructed our mission in New
York to continue working closely with you on this issue."
