Japan – The second federal festival took place over two days in Japan on September 30 and October 1, 2023. Mr. Saw Bhla Thein, the representative of the National Unity Government in Japan, and Mr. Ishibashi Michiro, a House of Councillors member from the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan who supports Myanmar’s democracy issues, delivered welcome remarks. Ethnic leaders also introduced the concept of federalism to the public.
This Federal Festival celebrated the traditions, attire, cuisine, language, and culture of diverse ethnic communities, all with the common goal of opposing dictatorship. It also aimed to showcase the concept of federalism, which promotes coexistence in peace rather than separation. The proceeds from this fundraising event will be donated to the Revolution through relevant ethnic organizations for effective utilization.
