U Win Khet, the chairman of National League for Democracy – Liberated Areas (NLD-LA) and U Aung Moe Zaw, the chairman of Democratic Party for New Society (DPNS) had a meeting with Burmese political activists in Japan and explained current political situation of Burma.

The meeting was held at Onami Omusuka Hall in Tokyo and U Win Khet explained the relation between opposition groups including NLD-LA and the Karen National Union (KNU) which is currently negotiating a proper ceasefire with the military junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC).

He confirmed that the KNU vice-chairman General Saw Bo Mya met representatives of NLD-LA before his recent trip to Rangoon. The KNU is the backbone of the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB) and all KNU leaders will make sure that the unity of the organisation is not destroyed but strengthened, he added.

U Aung Moe Zaw said that the SPDC’s ‘road map’ plan for democracy is acceptable to no one without the support of the NLD and ethnic nationals and that the oppositions have nothing to worry about it.
