Myanmaar and South Korea to discuss on biodiversity and resources

The two countries will also discuss plans for a joint study on Khakaborazi National Park in the Myanmar's northernmost state of Kachin.

Myanmar and South Korea are going to hold talks tomorrow to discuss cooperation on studying as well as preserving biodiversity in the Southeast Asian country. The information was revealed by the environment ministry.

The meeting will be headed by Vice Environment Minister Ahn Byung-ok and U Khin Maung Yi, Myanmar's permanent secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation. The event will take place in Yangon tomorrow.

The meeting will be the third of its kind following bilateral biological resources talks held in 2015 and 2017.

Myanmar has highly diverse biological resources but fails because it lacks studies and management capabilities.

South Korea for the first time began its research of Myanmar's national parks in the year 2011 and since then has donated materials on their biological resources.

South Korea is planning to provide its study on seed plants Nat Ma Taung National Park to the Myanmarese government which was published in December last year.

The two countries will also discuss plans for a joint study on Khakaborazi National Park in the Myanmar's northernmost state of Kachin.
