Myanmar-Nepal CCI formed


Kathmandu, Nov. 21: Businessmen in Yangoon, former capital city of Myanmar, on Tuesday decided to establish Myanmar-Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industry to promote business and investment between the two countries.

Established under the leadership of prominent businessman Mangeram Agrawal, the organisation has two vice-presidents Ko Ko Latt and Ganesh Baniya, General Secretary Aung Bo Bo, Joint-Secretary Rajesh Bhusal and Treasurer Bishnu Wagle.

It is the first ever Chamber of Commerce established in Yangoon since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Myanmar and Nepal in 1960, said the Embassy of Nepal in Yangoon.

“As the two governments are expecting to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation of Trade and Investment soon, the chamber can play an important role in collaborating economic cooperation and business among private sectors,” it said.

Some members of the chamber are participating at the Nepal Chamber Expo 2018 which is being organised in Kathmandu from 29 November to 3 December 2018. Myanmar is the Country Partner in the export this year.
