Not only within region, but also the whole world is keeping an eye on Myanmar whether is there true changes leading to national reconciliation and political reconstruction to democratization.

Today, there is the meeting of foreign ministers from ASEAN countries, it was agreed for Myanmar to be named as Chair of ASEAN 2014. It is really a great news and a lot of people are also waiting for this news long time ago.

After getting agreement to be ASEAN Chair 2014, then Myanmar has to start preparing for all the necessities to be able to hold general meetings and several other activities in terms of responsibilities of ASEAN Chair. Positively, it will be creating several employment opportunities for local talents and progress in terms of business development will be followed.
