Myanmar and Belarus ministers discussed matters related to the development of the electricity and energy sectors, during which Union Minister for Electric Power and Energy U Ko Ko Lwin expressed Myanmar’s interest in replacing its ageing high-tension cables currently in use with composite cables manufactured in Belarus that offer higher electrical conductivity.

Union Minister for Electric Power and Energy U Ko Ko Lwin said Myanmar has abundant energy resources, including natural gas, hydropower, solar energy and other potential energy sources, but further development of these resources requires investment, advanced technology, infrastructure and technical expertise. He made the remarks while attending a panel discussion at the 30th Energy and Ecology Forum held in Minsk, Belarus, on October 28, together with his delegation and the Myanmar Ambassador to Belarus.
