In a sign of continued trade interest from Japan, the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) will stage an exhibition tomorrow geared at promoting a variety of products from the long-time partner nation, officials said.

Japan Festival 2014 will be held in Yangon at Tatmadaw Hall February 7 to 10 and will showcase Japanese-made electrical appliances, cars and motorcycles, household goods, pharmaceuticals, solar devices, bathroom appliances and cosmetics, said JETRO Myanmar’s managing director Toshihiro Mizutani. Myanmar companies will also participate alongside the 200 Japanese firms involved.

“This is our 3rd festival in Myanmar,” said Mr Mizutani. “We plan to also show the Japan Entertainment Festival at the National Theatre, featuring Japanese and Myanmar professional musicians.”
