A Japanese program to resettle Burmese refugees living in camps in
Thailand has failed to attract a single applicant, according to a report
by Japan’s public broadcaster NHK. The program, which was initiated two
years ago, has so far brought 45 refugees from nine families to Japan.
However, 16 refugees from three families who were expected to
participate in the program this year have all withdrawn, citing concerns
about adjusting to life in Japan. The Japanese government plans to
continue the program next year, but is now reconsidering how it will be
administered.
