Burma

On 26 April 2012, the Foreign Secretary announced that the British Government will lift its policy of discouraging trade and investment with Burma. This followed the decision on 23 April by EU Foreign Ministers to suspend all EU sanctions, apart from the arms embargo which remains in force.

This change is in recognition of the progress that has been made in Burma, and because the Government believes that the right kind of responsible trade and investment can aid Burma's transition.

UKTI does not yet have a presence in Burma so is unable to undertake any bespoke research into the market on behalf of UK companies. However, UKTI aims to set up a team in market shortly.

British businesses with an interest in finding out more about how UKTI hopes to take forward its work in Burma should contact Valerie Haines.
