national planning and economic development, told Eleven Media Group.

press conference at Cambodiana Hotel, Phnom Penh, on November 21.
“Currently Myanmar and Italian-Thai Development Public Company

third-party country to participate. The project is a big one and we want
to divide sectors for construction. That’s why we want to invite
third-party countries,” he said.

The construction of the sea port and the special economic zone will
be finalised in 2015. EMG learned that a meeting between Myanmar

The Myanmar government will take responsibility for protection,
security and administration aspects of the project in accordance with
the law. Strict restrictions are included in the statement to implement
the investment according to the law.

techniques for construction and creating job opportunities for locals,
including money transfers.
