Burma seeks help with green technologies
Burma urged developed nations on Tuesday to share their green technologies, in the military-backed government’s latest effort to reach out to the global community.
“Being a developing country, we need technological transfer, particularly for the development of renewable energy through solar, wind and tidal power,” Environmental Conservation and Forestry Minister Win Tun said as he opened a conference in the capital.
He said the experiences of other countries would “provide an opportunity to develop a road map for green growth for Myanmar [Burma].” Burma’s first-ever Green Economy and Green Growth Forum comes just weeks after the authoritarian regime stunned observers by freezing work an unpopular Chinese-backed mega dam in a rare concession to public opinion.
Burma is one of the world’s least developed countries but it is rich in natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals and gems.

Burma which has sold the whole rivers and level the forests and dug up jade down to the core of the earth wants to be green!!!!!
Not even funny. But there will be ready audience of sycophants and opportunists as usual.
So, Burma now is seeking help with green technologies. Why didn’t the regimes think about this before devasting and plundering the country’s natural resources to sell-off to the highest bidders, especially China, France and neighboring Thailand whom I’m sure have the technologies they’re seeking. Have some pride and ask for help from those who owes you and not like a beggar from the entire world community.So, Burma now is seeking help with green technologies.

Just simple, stop the deforestation right now.
Govt should offer a practical approach such as :
- offer a site, facilities , conjusive
environment, safety, and security to the participants to display their expertises and reward for them.
- Technology is there but it is not free. Everybody needs recognizing and rewards.
- They will be surprised that many Burmese have good ideas and technically capable of doing something good to their country and for the people ( especially ordinary people ).
- Lets hope that the government is sincere and willing to work in the right direction.
