YANGON -- Myanmar's government on Friday gave written approval to plans by three Japanese trading companies to build a liquefied natural gas power plant.

Representatives from Marubeni, Sumitomo Corp. and Mitsui & Co. attended the signing ceremony in the capital Naypyitaw. Nikkei reported earlier that the proposed 1,250 megawatt plant is equivalent to about a fifth of the Southeast Asian country's existing power generation capacity.
