“Peripheral regions of Myanmar, including the States of Kayin and Mon, can also present attractive economic opportunities for Italian companies, such as in the infrastructure and energy sectors”, commented Ambassador Pier Giorgio Aliberti at the end of his mission to Kayin and Mon, in south-eastern Myanmar.
The visit provided an opportunity to meet the Governors of these two States, representatives of regional political parties, delegates involved in the delicate peace process currently taking place in Myanmar, and the Catholic bishops active in the region. Ambassador Aliberti’s discussions centred on Italy’s constant support for the democratic transition and peace process in Myanmar, highlighting the many projects implemented by Italy and exploring potential new forms of cooperation for the future.
