Myanmar, Indonesia ties

YANGON (Reuter): Myanmar and Indonesia have agreed to step up cooperation in agricultural technology, livestock breeding and fisheries, state-run newspapers reported yesterday.

The two countries signed two memorandums of understanding on Wednesday covering the exchange of technology, research training and study tours.

Indonesian Minister of Agriculture Sjarifudin Baharsjah was in Yangon on Wednesday for the signing ceremonies, the reports said. He left later in the day at the end of a three-day trip.

Myanmar and Indonesia will produce finished goods and boost exports in the agricultural, livestock and fisheries sectors to their mutual benefit, the report said.
