YANGON -- South Korean state-linked Korea Land and Housing broke ground on an industrial park near Yangon on Thursday, becoming the latest foreign company to develop such a project in the country, a move that the Myanmar government hopes will help to draw in overseas manufacturers. Also in the pipeline are similar projects by Thailand's Amata and Singapore's Sembcorp Industries.
