Scottish Secretary David Mundell travelled to Myanmar and Singapore earlier this month to promote Scotland’s business interests, with oil and gas in particular on the agenda.

He said: “Scotland and Myanmar’s oil and gas industries have a long history and a bright future. Myanmar has the opportunity to forge a modern industry that brings local jobs and economic growth.

“At the same time, Scottish companies are set to benefit, using their world-class innovation and expertise to build stronger partnerships and win new contracts.

“I look forward to helping to drive forward new partnerships between Myanmar and the Scottish oil and gas sector.”
