Our Corporate Bureau
New Delhi: Myanmar Computer Federation (MCF) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate in the field of information technology. "India can serve as a model for Myanmar in the IT sector, and we have sought support for the development of an IT park in our country," Myanmar's deputy minister for science and technology U Hlainng Win said while addressing a meet organised by CII here on Monday. Setting of this IT park is being viewed as an opportunity for boosting bilateral ties between the two countries, he added. Complementing India's progress in the IT sector, Mr Win said, "India is churning out world-class IT professionals, software solution providers, technical know-how, IT-enabled services, and also has a large domestic market, apart from the overseas market, for these services. Myanmar has, therefore, asked for Indian expertise in the setting up of the IT park." The government will help Myanmar in preparing a draft of the master plan for the development of this sector, where IT is the main thrust. Copyright © 2001 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
