Further dialogues were conducted with representatives from MEIGE Joint Energy Holding and Yunnan-Irrawaddy Supply Chain, aimed at exploring extensive collaboration across energy development and infrastructure projects.

The discussions emphasized mutual interest in investing within Myanmar’s energy landscape, focusing on boosting capacity and enhancing energy security throughout the nation.

Plans highlighted during the meetings included drilling in established oil fields, construction of oil refineries, and increasing investments in traditional energy infrastructures.

The conversations also brought to light potential renewable energy projects, especially in solar energy, as Myanmar aims to diversify its energy sources and implement sustainable practices.
