The National Unity Government (NUG) Foreign Affairs Minister, Zin Mar Aung, called on the Japanese parliament, government and people to provide more effective support for Myanmar’s Spring Revolution.

She made the comment at the ‘Japan-Myanmar Relations: Past, Present and Future’ seminar held at the Office Building of the House of Representatives, in Tokyo, Japan, on 21 November.

Of the Spring Revolution, she said: “Myanmar’s Spring Revolution is not calling for a return to the 2008 Constitution, it wants the implementation of a political system that can guarantee a federal democracy that is expected by all ethnic people.”

Zin Mar Aung said that the Spring Revolution wants to end the country’s tradition of military coups and establish a system that can guarantee democracy, human rights, justice and self-administration.

She also talked about the sacrifices being made by students in Myanmar who are fighting and protesting against the junta.

During her 12-day visit to Japan, from 16 to 28 November, Zin Mar Aung will hold meetings with Myanmar communities in the country.
