In an interview with Xinhua News Agency on November 22nd, 2025, Zaw Min Tun, spokesman for the National Defence and Security Council and Deputy Minister of Information of Myanmar, condemned the recent erroneous remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Taiwan-related issues, reiterating that Myanmar has always firmly adhered to the One-China principle.

Zaw Min Tun said that Takaichi’s remarks show no lessons learned from history and demonstrate neither remorse nor responsibility for the crimes committed by Japan across Asia. Southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar, once suffered deeply from Japanese fascism, and Myanmar firmly condemns any possible resurgence of fascist tendencies in Japan.

Takaichi’s remarks violate the one-China policy and encourage “Taiwan independence” separatist forces, Zaw Min Tun said, stressing that Myanmar has always firmly adhered to the one-China policy and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the People’s Republic of China. The Taiwan question is purely China’s internal affair, and Myanmar opposes any external interference.
