Financial Express Bangladesh: Fresh Move to Import Gas from Myanmar

The government is upbeat over a 'visible' win of Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party in Myanmar's parliamentary elections and eyeing afresh to import natural gas from that country.

"We have a fresh plan to purchase natural gas from Chinese firms which have stakes in Myanmar gas fields and are carrying it to China through the pipeline," State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid told the FE Thursday.

He said the win of Suu Kyi could enhance co-operation between the two neighbouring countries in energy sector. It could be a new footing of regional co-operation of the neighbouring countries, he added. MORE
