Myanmar is making preparations to host the third Summit of Bay of Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) in Nay Pyi Taw on March 1 to 4.

The BIMSTEC comprises Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

Along with the four-day summit, other related meetings will also be underway.

The First and Second BIMSTEC Summits were held in Thailand in 2004 and India in 2008.

Although Myanmar has assumed BIMSTEC Chair since 2009, there has been a delay in approval of members for Myanmar to host the third Summit.

The 13th ministerial level meeting held in Nay Pyi Taw in 2011 approved Myanmar to host the third BIMSTEC Summit and related meetings.
