Re: JAPAN NEWSPAPER SUMMARY
FOREIGN MINISTRY READY TO DISBURSE AID TO MYANMAR--The Foreign Ministry
is ready to send to the Cabinet for approval a 1-bln-yen aid package for
Myanmar. Japan had been a regular aid donor to Myanmar until 1988, when aid
was suspended after the current military government took power. Foreign and
domestic response will be closely watched since approval of the package
appears to run counter to Japan's broad aid principles, which stress
recipients must be taking steps to protect basic human rights. (Mainichi,
p1)
