Dear people,

How far are the new Japanese projects in Burma  (including the one 
mentioned below, the dam projects and the Baluchaung Hydropower plant 
repair) linked to Japan's economic downturn? Does Japan have a policy of 
stimulating its economy by encouraging Japanese corporations to carry out 
projects in Burma and, no doubt, other countries?

DA
