OK. I still wonder about flagging cases which are Japanese ministries.

Yes, I feel it will be obvious to anybody coming across this from the context it's not a Japanese ministry. Or, if somebody is doing a reverse search for "Ministry of Information", it seems likely they are trying to translate this word into Japanese to describe a non-Japanese ministry. I don't think giving a list of countries where ministries by this name exists is really adding anything useful to the entry.

I'm not sure a consensus has been reached yet but Marcus and I think it should be left as "Ministry of ~" (i.e. without listing countries).

Good to flag that it's not Japanese.

BBCは今回の疑惑について、ミャンマー情報省の副大臣で軍報道官のゾーミントゥン将軍にただした。将軍は、兵士らが集団殺害を実行したことを否定しなかった。
