OREANDA-NEWS. Today, a representative delegation from Myanmar accompanied by Ravil Zaripov, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan, has arrived at KAMAZ during their visit to Tatarstan.

The delegation includes Mr. Tay Za, President of the Myanmar largest private company Htoo Group, and his deputies; Mr. Ye Min Oo, Managing Director of the bank ASIA Green Development Bank; Mr. Myint Oo, Executive Director of the Department of Energy, Mineral Resources and Engineer Support.

The guests from Myanmar accompanied by Evgeny Pronin, Deputy Director General of OJSC KAMAZ for Sales and Service, will familiarize themselves with the work of the main assembly line and a cab assembly line based at the automobile plant of KAMAZ. Besides, the delegation will visit the company’s R&D Center. It should be noted that the Htoo Group includes not only hotels, an air carrier and a construction company, but also Myanmar Avia Export which supplies the army with Russian airplanes. Therefore, this company’s interest in KAMAZ is well-founded.

It should be recalled that, during his working visit to Myanmar in September, Tatarstan’s President Rustam Minnikhanov successfully conducted negotiations with the representatives of the local business circles. In the course of the meeting which was held in the headquarters of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Myanmar in Yangon, the parties agreed on economic cooperation and signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the Chambers of Industry and Commerce of Tatarstan and Myanmar. At the same time, Mr. Minnikhanov said that helicopters, trucks and other products of the machine building sector of Tatarstan could be called-for in Myanmar. “A producer of various heavy trucks for civil and military purposes, our KAMAZ has great prospects here. Your gas country can be interested in Tatarstan’s equipment for gas production and transportation,” the president of the republic said.
