YANGON (Dec. 24) XINHUA - Myanmar
leader Khin Nyunt urged the government
ministries to give priority to implementing
projects arranged by the Singapore
government.
The projects, laid down in the last two
meetings of the Myanmar-Singapore Joint
Ministerial Working Committee (JMWC),
include those of tourism, agriculture,
livestock and fisheries and human
resources development.
Speaking at a coordination meeting here
Tuesday, Khin Nyunt, first secretary of the
Myanmar State Peace and Development
Council, pointed out that Singapore is the
second largest investor in the country, the
official newspaper The New Light of
Myanmar reported Wednesday.
The JMWC was formed following a visit to
Singapore by Myanmar top leader Than
Shwe in June 1995.
According to official statistics, Singapore's
investment in Myanmar amounted to 1.3
billion U.S. dollars in 64 permitted projects
covering hotels and tourism, industrial
zones and container terminals as well as
other industrial sectors.
