PH, Myanmar strengthen food security cooperation

Philippines and Myanmar governments will strengthen bilateral economic relations, specifically on areas of trade and investment, agro-industry, food security and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

“The meeting between President Rodrigo Duterte and Myanmar’s top leaders [President U Htin Kyaw, State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Daw Aung San Suu Kyi] touched on mutually beneficial strategies to increase trade and investment, to develop MSMEs and to provide agri-technical assistance,” Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said on Wednesday.
