Expansion work starts at Myanmar’s Thilawa industrial park
An expansion project at Myanmar’s first modern industrial park began Tuesday, as the government concluded negotiations related to resettling residents of the development area. The Thilawa special economic zone, which came about as a public-private effort between Japan and Myanmar, will undergo a roughly 100-hectare expansion, to be developed alongside the existing 400-hectare campus. The project is expected to be completed in mid-2018.
