Myanmar and Thailand yesterday signed several agreements which further cemented ties between the two countries. These included a bilateral airline agreement, inked at the Myanmar Foreign Minister’s office, as well as a second agreement to improve an existing shrimp breeding zone with the aim of facilitating development in Rakhine State. The airline agreement will replace the existing agreement, which was inked in 1969. In the new agreement, rules governing the aviation sector, including airlines and airline service providers were amended or included.

Thailand also committed to providing financial assistance for the development of Rakhine State. It will also provide B34 million to assist in the upgrading of the Yay Chan Pyin shrimp breezing zone in Rakhine. With yields expected to improve by incorporating modern farming techniques, the government hopes the shrimp produced can also serve as food and nutrition for local residents.
