TOKYO -- Plans for an economic zone in southern Myanmar will be reworked by Japan into an export base to such markets as India, Nikkei has learned, in an attempt to kick-start the stalled project as China expands its economic influence in the Southeast Asian country.
The new proposal for the Dawei special economic zone being developed jointly by Japan, Myanmar and Thailand will prioritize building logistics and port facilities to turn it into a base for shipping and light industry by 2030.
