Serbia to expand economic ties with Myanmar

YANGON, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Serbia has vowed to expand economic ties with Myanmar by further investing in the country's electric power, rail transportation and infrastructure projects, Myanmar's state media quoted a Serbian diplomat as saying on Tuesday.

Serbian Ambassador Miodrag Nikolin told the New Light of Myanmar that these projects are mostly conducted by or through the Serbian Invest-Import Company which has been present in Myanmar for more than a half of the century.

Nikolin vowed to continue to develop and expand economic cooperation between the two countries.

In February 2013, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivan Mrkic visited Nay Pyi Taw and met with President U Thein Sein, discussing on cooperation in education, culture, and investment in energy, forest, rubber and food production.
