US business delegations will visit Myanmar next week to seek investment opportunities that will also promote the country’s economic growth, Scot Marciel, the newly arrived US ambassador, announced yesterday.
Speaking to domestic media, Mr Marciel said the US Agency for International Development (USAID) would also come to Myanmar in a demonstration of support for the new government.
“I am very pleased the administrator of US Agency for International Development Gayle Smith … will be visiting here. She is arriving this weekend and going up to Nay Pyi Taw for talks with the government to hear first-hand from the government about its priorities and where we can be helpful,” the ambassador said.
“A large part of her trip is to hear from the government what the needs are, what the priorities are. That will help us not only immediately, but in the future to determine how best to use our assistance.” (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
