STORYLINE:
Myanmar Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt outlined his regime's 'roadmap' to democracy in a meeting with the Japanese Premier Junichiro Koizumi on Friday, shortly after the conclusion of the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Tokyo.
Multinational talks on military-ruled Myanmar's 'roadmap' are due to be hosted by Thailand next week.
Representatives from 10 countries in Asia and Europe are scheduled to attend the December 15 forum in Bangkok.
It is expected to be the first in a series of meetings.
Myanmar Deputy Foreign Minister Khin Maung Win and ministers from Japan, Australia and European Union countries will attend the Bangkok session.
Khin Nyunt unveiled the seven-point plan in August. It outlines plans for free elections and a new government.
However, he declined to give details or a timeframe for when the plan would be implemented.
Japan had been Myanmar's largest aid donor, but relations between the two have cooled over the past several months.
Japan suspended economic assistance in June after the military government detained Myanmar's democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi following a clash between her supporters and a pro-junta mob on May 30.
In September she was transferred to her lakeside villa in the capital, Yangon, where she remains under house arrest.
Myanmar's ruling junta seized power in 1988 after crushing a pro-democracy uprising. It held elections in 1990 but refused to honour the results when Suu Kyi's party won by a huge majority.
At an ASEAN summit on the Indonesian island of Bali in October, Koizumi pressed Khin Nyunt to release the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Though Yangon insists the issue is a domestic matter, Tokyo has said it won't resume aid until it sees progress in the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.
