Message from
Japan Myanmar Association
General Incorporated Association
Japan Myanmar Association
Chairman,
Hideo Watanabe
It has been a close relationship between Japan and Myanmar throughout the
period before, during and after the World War II. The main reason, I believe, was
that there was a background of Myanmar nations’ personality, gentleness and
both countries mental similarity as Buddhism country, those of which had been
attracting many Japanese people related to Myanmar.
In 1948, Myanmar became independent from the UK and strived for Japan’
s postwar restorations by concluding Peace Treaty and Compensation Economic
Cooperation Agreement between the two countries quicker than any other
Southeastern Asian countries. For appreciation of such action, Japan continued
supporting Myanmar as much as possible, however in 1988, a large-scale
demonstration caused a civil war, which made Myanmar become a military regime
with no alternatives to keep/control the state peace and stability. Accordingly, the
economic measures against Myanmar had been taken and it caused Japan to stop
the support and cooperation practically, notwithstanding that Japan had been
keeping outstanding relationship with Myanmar amongst the Asian countries.
From that day, Japan tried to maintain amicable relationship with Myanmar
somehow by contribution of the grass-roots activities.
In those days, I was the one, as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary of Nakasone
cabinet, who invited Myanmar then-Prime Minster Maun Maung Ka to Japan and
was engaged in development of the support policy in Myanmar.
Since then, I attached importance to the relations for both countries under the
words, instructions and encouragement of former Prime Minster Nakasone that to
build a cordial relationship with Myanmar is “your duty”, for which I made a great
efforts in good faith.
However, since the normal diplomatic relations had not been existed between
the two countries, it was my regret that I could not have done sufficiently and the
time for 20 years had passed until today.
Nevertheless, under any circumstances, I had tried utmost efforts, such as the
riparian works at Yangon Airport, as well as the riparian works for the powertransmission line facilities of Balu Chaung Hydroelectric Power Plant, the
restoration works of the medical equipment at JICA hospital, and the supply of the
vehicle for blood donation against hepatitis B.
In 2008, I paid a visit for Myanmar to express my deepest sympathy for their
historic disasters caused by cyclone Nargis in April that year, while I showed my
great respect again to Mr. Thein Sein, who became Prime Minister in Myanmar,
carried out a referendum to call his conduct in question for implementation of the
new constitution in May. At that moment, I was convinced that the movement for
democratization is no doubt in process in Myanmar.
Since this year, I frequently paid a visit for Myanmar to talk with then-Prime
Minster Thein Sein and many other Myanmar high officials regarding Japan’s
support and cooperation in order to fulfill the past 20 years of unfortunate period.
Today, I reconfirm the strong enthusiasm and enormous expectations to Japan
from the Myanmar people and from the Myanmar government concerned people,
which makes me realize anew that the assigned role is of the great importance.
In 2011, Myanmar formed a new administration by democratic election, the
domestic regime of which has made a first step as the civilian government’
political party, the political offenders releasing is one of the good examples. The
national reconciliation shown by the talks with President Thein Sein and Ms. Aung
San Suu Kyi, and amicable settlement with the minority race are to be in process
of the new policy achievement. Furthermore, Myanmar new government opened
the doors to overseas, the top leaders conference between former Prime Minister
Noda of Japan and President Thein Sein of Myanmar has been held in Jakarta
in November 2011, visiting President Thein Sein to Japan has been realized in
April 2012 and visiting Deputy Prime Minister Aso as the cabinet minister of Abe
cabinet for the first time to Myanmar has been executed in January 2013, thus
Myanmar as reborn country started to move. I am happy to announce that both
countries exchanges on estensive sectors are getting more active and deeper by
continuing efforts of having government-level negotiations and of visiting many
Japanese private–sector companies to Myanmar.
Recently, government of Japan expressed the policy regarding ODA resumption
and development of Thilawa Special Economic Zone, located suburbs of Yangon, as
to be the center of the Myanmar economy as well as to be the symbol of Japan’s
support and cooperation.
I have established “Japan Myanmar Association”, a general incorporated
association in March 2012 to be able to act as a position of private institution, to
which I shall express my sincere appreciation for many people’s comprehension
and assistance.
For further development and economic growth brought by exchanges on
wide-ranging sectors between the two countries, especially for private sector’
s investment promotion, trade expansion and technology support//cooperation,
“Japan Myanmar Association” should play substantially important role to be
realized the Win-Win statistical relationship. I am convinced that it is the duty for
us and “Japan Myanmar Association” that exists 21st century to create a reliable
relationship between Japan and Myanmar.
I again express my determination to devote myself into extensive activities
necessary for Japan and Myanmar and to make my utmost effort for JMA member
benefit, for which I would kindly ask all of your support and encouragement
continuously in the future.
