Win-Win Game

FINALLY Japanese PM and its top business men are coming to Myanmar to encourage Japanese firms investing in the land of pagodas. We have been long reading news with regard to Japan's interests to counter Chinese dominance on Burma. But it was nothing more than speculation. Now it appears rumor finally going to bear some fruits. As Japanese economy downward for recent decades and Japanese are trying to find right formula to adverse the negative trend. Current disputes with Chinese severely affected Japanese firms working in China and it is apparent that Japan must find alternative place with urgent basis.

As a newly Asia's frontier market with 60 millions people, there has been no better time to invest in Myanmar now than before. Due to recently economic and political reforms, the western nations has positively response toward Myanmar, noticeably by lifting sanction against Myanmar. It pave the way for FDI who are waiting for lifting sanction. Japanese was one of few exceptional nations who haven't put sanction against our country during military regime era. As such, there were slim relationship between two countries during difficult time. It seem help Japan to quickly assess Myanmar's position right after changing system. It is apparent make Japanese firms one step ahead of its counterparts from western countries.

Amid Chinese dominance, our people are happy to witness constructive relationship with Japanese firms. We all are confident in Japanese technology and their environmental caring manner. In brief, it is going to be win-win game between Japan and Myanmar. Because Japan may able to access Myanmar's untapped natural resources while Myanmar will gain some jobs for its people. With the combination of newly firms from western countries, I believe Myanmar will achieve its goal within relatively short time if our authority wisely use the opportunities that come and knock at our doorsteps. I'm starting to count down for my return home permanently.
