Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Myanmar's main opposition party, the National League for Democracy, spoke before about 400 students at the University of Tokyo on Wednesday. She said cooperation from her country's military was necessary to propel constitutional revision.
Though Suu Kyi was under house arrest during the rule of the military junta, she said it was important to maintain a good relationship with the military, which holds 25 percent of the seats in the national assembly.
She said young people in Japan were less interested in elections. As those in Myanmar do not really understand democracy, Japanese should be glad they can participate in free and fair elections, she added.
