Aung San Suu Kyi Seeks Foreign Investment At ASEAN Summit

Singapore: Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday appealed to members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to invest in her country. Suu Kyi, who called Myanmar the “last frontier of Southeast Asia”, was delivering the keynote speech to the Asean Business and Investment Summit being held in Singapore. “Reform measures have been undertaken to create a more attractive, investor-friendly environment in Myanmar,” Suu Kyi said, describing her country as a “very new player in the market economy scene”, Efe news reported. “We are very concerned with responsible business because as a country that was under an authoritarian system for more than half a century, responsibility was something that many people were unaware of, because everything was taken care of by the authorities,” she added.
