TOKYO —

Japan voiced ‘‘serious concern’’ Friday about Myanmar moving Aung San Suu Kyi, the country’s pro-democracy leader, to prison from house arrest Thursday. ‘‘We are closely watching the development with serious concern,’’ Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone said at a news conference. ‘‘We have conveyed this message to the Myanmar government.’’

Nakasone said the Foreign Ministry told Myanmar Ambassador to Japan Hla Myint earlier Friday that Japan wants the junta to advance democracy with the participation of ‘‘all related people,’’ including Suu Kyi, the 63-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Nakasone said Japan expects Myanmar to hold a general election in 2010 as a way acceptable to the international community. Suu Kyi has been charged in connection with an incident last week in which a U.S. citizen is accused of swimming across a lake and sneaking into her house to visit her.
