“The Kremlin announced on Feb. 20 that Putin approved the Russia–Myanmar Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, which was originally inked on June 20 last year in St. Petersburg. The pact commits both sides to creating favourable conditions for investors from the other country that safeguard their money.”
“Junta chief Min Aung Hlaing has visited Russia several times. During a trip last March, he urged Russian companies to explore lucrative business opportunities in Myanmar, claiming that the war-torn country could constitute a bridgehead into a regional market of more than 2 billion people.”
“Even a nuclear power plant near the administrative capital is in the works. More immediate plans include rice exports to Russia and imports of fertilizer and pesticides. In the medium term, the two sides are eyeing port and refinery construction, Russian investment in the Dawei Special Economic Zone in Tanintharyi Region, and gas exploration and production projects off Myanmar coast, as well as expanding trade routes via India to boost bilateral commerce.”
