The Myanmar leader invited New Zealand businesses to come and invest in areas which can create job opportunities, such as agro-forestry-fishery, electricity, mineral exploitation and human resources development.
For his part, the New Zealand PM recognised the progress Myanmar has made in a short period under the leadership of President U Thein Sein. He said that New Zealand is to open an embassy in Myanmar to boost bilateral ties.
