Japanese champion Burma; business see hospitable ground for expansion

Japan's big-business federation, the Keidanren, created a bilateral-relations committee in November 1996 to facilitate the influx of Japanese businesses in Burma. Japanese businessmen also saw the need to look for other investment sites following the increase in wages in neighboring countries such as Thailand. Labor costs in Burma, on the other hand, are still relatively cheap.
