The 25th of March: an important day for Myanmar’s economy: the official launch of the 5 year National Export Strategy.
We had a good turn up of the foreign press during the media lunch in Yangon and of national press during the launch itself in capital city of Naypyithaw. 6 National TV stations were present and several national papers. 57 journalists attended the launch (of which 7 are international media). This resulted in many many online and print articles, some of the titles:
- Myanmar Times
- Straits Times
- Nikkei Asian Review
- Jakarta Post
- Global Times China
- Reuters
Now it’s the challenge to keep the communications going, and to build local capacity here at the Ministry of Commerce (Yangon), for sustainable communications during this 5 year export plan.
