Britain’s trade and investment department has opened an office in Rangoon as the latest move by the UK government to increase its presence in Burma. According to a report by The Telegraph, the opening of the new trade office came during a three-day visit this week by a trade delegation that included executives of some of the UK’s most influential companies. Representatives of Anglo American, BP, British Gas, Ernst & Young, Rolls Royce and Shell were in Rangoon and Naypyidaw to explore opportunities in a country often described as one of Asia’s last unexploited markets.
