Prof Mahendra P Lama of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi was invited from India to make a special presentation on how cross border energy exchanges could be done with Myanmar’s South Asian neighbours particularly the immediate North East region of India
In order to implement the promises and issues related to the energy security in Myanmar mentioned in the election manifestoes of the first democratically elected Government led by the National League for Democracy, the Myanmar Energy Forum Meeting was organised by the famous Parami Energy at Nay Pyi Taw the new capital of Myanmar. Myanmar formerly Burma has now country’s first civilian President Htin Kyaw in more than 50 years. The military rule was imposed in Myanmar in 1962 and ruled the country till very recently.
The National League for Democracy is actually led by its President and Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi who won commanding majorities in both houses of parliament in the last November 2015 election. Suu Kyi is the youngest daughter of the Father of the Modern Burma Aung San. However, the valiant fighter for democracy who was jailed and remained under house arrest for almost 21 years could not become the President of Myanmar this time also as the constitution debars anyone with a foreign spouse or children to become the President. It may be noted that Aung San Suu ki is married to late Prof Michael Aris from England and has two sons. Suu ki however, has taken over the coveted portfolios of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of President’s Office.
A large number of top energy specialists from all over the world gathered in this Energy Forum Meeting led by Myanmar’s top energy specialist Ken Tun. This Forum specially met to draw a policy document for energy security in Myanmar. Prof Mahendra P Lama of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi was invited from India to make a special presentation on how cross border energy exchanges could be done with Myanmar’s South Asian neighbours particularly the immediate North East region of India. Indian Ambassador to Myanmar Shri Gautam Mukhopadhyay also participated in the Forum meeting held in the very beautiful Horizon Lake View Resort.
The Forum finally produced a policy document for the Government of Myanmar which aims including many other issues to reach electricity to every nook and corner of Myanmar by 2030 and also scientifically harness its huge gas and water resources.
