Myanmar's Energy Sector Must Develop Rapidly To Keep Up With Its Economic Growth
Myanmar’s newly open economy may have earned the country the status of
the next global investment darling, but one hurdle stands in the way of
Myanmar’s growth: its lack of stable energy. Electricity is only

that number will have to grow fast.
Myanmar leader to visit London and Paris 'within days'

from July 14 to 18," a presidential office official told AFP on
condition of anonymity without giving further details of the visit,
Thein Sein's second trip to Europe in months.
