Myanmar and Japan to boost human resource

Capacity Building Center jointly sponsored by Myanmar and Japan will be open in May 2013 to help improve Myanmar’s human resource capacity, said Win Aung, chairman for the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI).

Keidanren, the Japan's largest business lobby group made a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) signing ceremony for economic cooperation with UMFCCI at its office on February 7.


"Keidanren has promised us to give help in opening the center. Today's MoU will also include this matter," Win Aung added on that day before the event.

The delegation led by Hiromasa Yonekura, the business federation’s chairman began their visit on Monday by meeting with government officials and executives of domestic firms to seek business opportunities in the country.

The meeting this time included the biggest number of Japanese companies.

Mr.Yonekura also said at the signing ceremony that Japan has been currently providing assistance for Myanmar to build infrastructure with study projects for upgrading Yangon Port's Inland Water Transport, Yangon City's Environmental Development, building infrastructure for Thilawa Special Economic Zone and Smart Community.

He also added that Japanese companies will invest in development projects for Thilawa Special Economic Zone.

Myanmar should give priority to develop its human resources and the country has some limitations to accept foreign investments, said a person close to Keidanren.
