Russia to build nuclear power plant near Myanmar’s capital Naypyidaw

The CEO of Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy corporation Rosatom told Russian state TV channel Rossiya 1 on March 4 that a nuclear power plant project signed between Naypyidaw and Moscow would be built near Myanmar’s capital city.

“We can handle logistics, because Rosatom is also a logistics company. We have never been afraid of long distances: we are building in Bolivia, we are building in Africa, we are building in the Far East at home, in Yakutia, Chukotka, therefore, in this sense, logistics does not frighten us at all,” said Alexey Likhachev.
