THE Japanese governments goodwill ambassador for the welfare of ethnic minorities in Myanmar last week praised the governments reform efforts but said more needed to be done to build unity, particularly among ethnic minority groups.
Mr Yohei Sasakawa, who is also involved in Japanese non-government organisation Nippon Foundation, visited Myanmar from July 24 to 30 and met President U Thein Sein, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and government ministers.
He said the president praised the foundations work, particularly in Shan State where it has built more than 200 schools.
President U Thein Sein said [unity] is the most important [factor] for the development of Myanmar, Mr Sasakawa said.
He also said, Mr Sasakawa, you have been very active in Shan State and other states. I would like you to strengthen your activities further we will be able to help you.
This is the reason why I have been now appointed as the Japanese government ambassador for the welfare of the minority groups in Myanmar. Of course, its in line with the presidents wish that we work for the minority groups.
Mr Sasakawa said Nippon Foundation engaged with communities in a unique way to ensure its projects are sustainable.
Most NGOs build a school based on a map, he said. But the way Nippon Foundation works is that we get the villagers all together. And then we ask them if they really need a school or really want a school.
And in meeting with the villagers, we can actually see the passion that they really have in wanting to build the school to continue the education for their children. And also we ask them if they themselves would be involved in building the school. So they will be the workers, they will be the labourers to build the school by themselves. And of course, we pay them for their work according to our calculation, he said.
Mr Sasakawa said they foundation has already finished 200 primary schools in Shan State.
If we build junior or senior high schools the children in the minority regions will feel that if they study hard, they can now have higher education and they will realise they can have [a better] future. We will go on to build them in the near future, he said.
We have been here already 20 years. We are still committed to remain and our project on higher secondary schools will continue.
Mr Sasakawa will come to Myanmar again in December and during that time he expects to visit Chin State to investigate the possibly of expanding Nippon Foundations projects there.
He said during his meeting with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi the National League for Democracy leader mentioned traditional Chin textiles and he said reviving this industry could be a possible livelihoods project.
But of course I have to go to Chin State and see for myself, see what is really needed and then I will decide after my visit. Of course this is my responsibility that I do that and my basic principle is that in the field I find the problems and solutions side by side, he said.
Mr Sasakawa said he also discussed reform of the rail network with Minister for Rail Transportation U Aung Min.
The Japanese government is now [sending a] survey team to see what can be done in order to improve the railway system, he said.
The railway minister himself said it is still very early for Myanmar to even think about introducing a bullet train. He specifically wants the existing railway network, especially from Yangon to Mandalay via Nay Pyi Taw, to be upgraded to connect Yangon to Nay Pyi in two hours. It is basically to upgrade the existing railway system.
He said all the leaders he met while in Myanmar were optimistic and earnest.
They are really busy it is not the word, they are tremendously under pressure and busy but they are trying to establish a good environment to open up the country. It is really something that Im very impressed with and they are very positive as well.
Since 1976 the Nippon Foundation and its sister organisations have provided funding to Myanmar totalling nearly $20 million for health care and human resource development projects, including training for journalists from The Myanmar Times, and hosting conferences and seminars on such topics as industrial reform and Myanmars role in ASEAN.
