The announcement was made jointly by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and President Thein Sein, Myanmar's first head of state to visit Japan in nearly three decades. "In order to support Myanmar's efforts for reforms, Japan will extend economic cooperation ... while continuously observing the progress of these efforts ...," Noda said in a joint statement.
