NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced on October 17 that
its subsidiary NTT Communications (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has begun
operating a branch office in Yangon, Myanmar. Working in collaboration
with local carriers, the branch will provide ICT solutions that enable
multinational companies to expand their operations reliably, flexibly
and securely in Myanmar.
The branch is the first to be launched in Myanmar by a foreign
telecommunications company. It is headed by Tsuyoshi Kawashima, who is
concurrently president of NTT Communications (Thailand) and manager of
its Phnom Penh and Vientiane branches. The branch office is located at #
1504, 15th Floor, Sakura Tower, 339, Bogyoke Aung San Road, Kyauktada
Township, Yangon (tel. 951-255-032).
NTT Com currently provides ICT solutions, including cloud, international
and local networks, data centers, system integration and security, to
multinational companies in the Greater Mekong Subregion, including
Myanmar.
Myanmar has excellent growth potential due to its abundant workforce and
natural resources. It has been emerging as a new market, especially
since returning to civilian rule in March 2011.
A growing number of multinational companies are expanding their
operations in the Greater Mekong Subregion, supported by ongoing
improvement of infrastructure in the East-West Economic Corridor linking
Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar; the Kunming-Bangkok Expressway
linking Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and Mainland China's Yunnan Province;
and the Southern Economic Corridor linking Vietnam, Cambodia and
Thailand.
Multinational companies in the Greater Mekong Subregion are rapidly
establishing production, distribution and sales systems, as well as
working to secure business continuity resistant to natural disasters and
political uncertainties, all of which are raising the demand for
high-quality ICT services available throughout the region and beyond.
With the addition of the Myanmar Branch, NTT Com's network of
subsidiaries and offices has expanded to seven cities in five countries
of the Greater Mekong Subregion, and 87 cities in 31 countries/regions
of the world.
