BANGKOK -- Military-linked conglomerate Myanma Economic Holdings has filed a legal request to end its joint venture with Kirin Holdings, likely dashing the Japanese brewer's hopes to remain in business with a different partner.
Myanmar Brewery is 51% owned by Kirin and 49% by Myanma Economic Holdings (MEHL). A MEHL representative recently published an announcement in a state-run newspaper of the company's filing in a Yangon court.
