Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

The Myanmar military regime continues to work with China to develop the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and a deep-sea port in Rakhine State’s Kyaukphyu despite the fact that the town has been encircled by troops of the ethnic Arakan Army (AA).


On Tuesday, junta Minister of Investment and Foreign Economic Relations Kan Zaw addressed a meeting of Myanmar’s Central Working Group for Special Economic Zones, which he chairs, in Naypyitaw. He called for effective collaboration between Kyauk Phyu SEZ Consortium Company Ltd.—formed as a Myanmar Government Designated Entity—and China’s CITIC Consortium, as well as collaboration with relevant ministries to expedite the project and compliance with regulations.
