Independent centre reports on nation’s natural resources
The Ethnic Nationalities Affairs Centre (ENAC) (Union of Burma), has released a report recommending greater government emphasis on the possession, management, share of revenues and impact of the country’s natural resources during the second 21st Panglong Conference. “After the 21st Panglong Conference is concluded, there will be another scheduled discussion relating specifically to natural resources. We released this report to support all the people involved in this discussion,” said ENAC’s executive director Zo Thone Mone. “When it comes to discussing resources – who has the right to possess it, who is supposed to manage it, how will it be shared out and what is the impact – are matters to discuss. So we conducted research focusing on these matters,” he said.
