At a press conference in Naypyidaw, Aso said that Burma “has been heavily in debt and unable to attract investment. Japan will remove those obstacles and support the country,†Japanese news agency Kyodo reported. Aso will travel to Rangoon on Friday to visit the nearby Thilawa port, where a special economic zone will be built with Japanese investment.
