"We view this move as evidence that the Myanmarese leadership is ready to carry out a political reorganization in line with the roadmap of democratic reforms it has adopted," the ministry said. "We hope for further democratization in Myanmar and for preservation of internal stability, civil peace and public law and order."
Myanmar's military authorities announced the establishment of the commission, to be headed by Chief Justice Aung Toe, Thursday. The new Constitution was approved at a local level in many of the country's regions in September.
Myanmar has been hit by numerous anti-government rallies in the last one and a half months. The Myanmar leadership has admitted that 10 people were killed in the protests, which were led by the country's revered Buddhist monks, in late September, but independent reports quote figures up to 20 times higher.
The protests were sparked by massive hikes in fuel prices in August.
