These representatives represented German investors interested in investing money in Malaysia and now Myanmar, informed Dr. Maung Maung Lay, General Secretary of UMFCCI.
Feasibility surveys of the Myanmar market was the key objective of this visit, and more visits to the country have already been lined up.
