"Myanmar boom" hits Japanese business

-"The Myanmar boom is probably more feverish in Japan than it is inwestern countries," said Toshihiro Kudo, a senior researcher at Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), a government-run office that faciliates Japanese trade and investment abroad.

-"In one month 200 Japanese businessmen are visiting JETRO’soffice in Yangon for a briefing," Kudo told a Bangkok-based seminar on Myanmar’s recent reforms. "Previously, there would be 200 peoplein one year," he said.

-Kudo, a Myanmar specialist at JETRO’s Tokyo headquarters, said that Japanese accounted for about 50 per cent of all foreign business missions to the country this year, also called Burma.
