Conclusion

The Government of the Union of Myanmar has a strong desire to reduce the

country’s digital divide and is therefore making efforts to establish connectivity

throughout the country.

GMS countries are more or less similar and cooperation in terms of knowledge

sharing can help all the member countries.

On behalf of the Government of the Union of Myanmar and Ministry of

Communications, Posts and Telegraphs, I would like to thank

Mr. Thein WinChief EngineerLong Distance Communications Dept.Myanma Posts and TelecommunicationsMinistry of Communications, Posts and Telegraphs
