Japan has suggested holding joint discussions with Myanmar and Thailand if it is to invest in the Dawei Special Economic Zone (SEZ), according to officials.
Japan is already investing in various
infrastructure projects in Yangon, notably in the construction of the
Thilawa Special Economic Zone. President Thein Sein has invited Japan to
invest in the Dawei project in an official letter signed by ministers
from Myanmar and Thailand on April 24.
"We are not inviting Japan to invest in
Dawei SEZ’s business. We have invited the to participate as a third
party country to share the benefits. Although we don't know yet if they
will participate or not, Japan will suggest the proposal to hold further
tripartite discussion," said Sett Aung, chairman of a committee looking
into the rules and regulations of the Dawei project.
A special meeting between Myanmar and
Japan was held on July 9 and a similar meeting between Japan and
Thailand occurred on July 11. Japan has expressed the need for all three
countries to hold joint discussions if it is to participate in the
Dawei project.
