Ethnic entrepreneurs across Myanmar
are planning to establish a new business association, according to the Union of
Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI).
The new association will represent
entrepreneurs in regions lagging behind in development. The formation of the
ethnic entrepreneurs’ association is aimed at promoting balanced development
between urban and rural areas, and ensuring private sector development.
U Aye Win, joint general secretary
of the UMFCCI, said the new association would officially be formed within a
month.
He made the announcement at a
recent ceremony held on 8 February in Yangon to confer an honourable
certificate by the Ethnic Affairs Ministry on the UMFCCI for successfully
holding an ethnic sustainable development forum in Nay Pyi Taw last month.
Dr Aung Tun Thet, advisor of
UMFCCI, said, “It is important to establish an economic pattern that helps
support the conservation of environment, protection of human rights and
opposition of corruption in regions
where majority of ethnics are
residing.”
All ethnic entrepreneurs from the
regions and states have been invited to participate in the national association
for private sector development.
The UMFCCI has pledged to support
the establishment of an ethnic entrepreneurs’ association and form brother
associations in different regions and ethnic groups in the future.
