The participants of the meeting discussed prospects for cooperation and joint projects in traditional and renewable energy sources of power engineering, agriculture, and mineral extraction.
“The current realities and challenges show that the global arena is undergoing a rapid reformatting of inter-country relations.

I would also like to thank the RC Investments Fund for its great professional support in the development of investment projects. For our part, we consider it extremely important to further implement the announced agreements. We are ready to provide comprehensive support in expanding cooperation and strengthening relations between the countries,” said Mya Tun Oo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Communications of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
