THE Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Mr Mani Shankar Aiyar, who is on a visit to Myanmar, had a meeting with the Prime Minister, Lt-Gen Soe Win.

Lt-Gen Soe Win welcomed India's participation in the development of the energy sector in Myanmar, an official release said. Mr Aiyar arrived at Yangon on Monday.

He also held delegation-level discussions on energy cooperation with Myanmar's Energy Minister, Brig-Gen Lun Thi. Discussions were also held on the issue of building a natural gas pipeline from Myanmar through Bangladesh to meet the country's growing requirement for the fuel, an official spokesperson said.

India is interested in a pipeline to transport gas it expects to get from projects in Myanmar. Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) and Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) together own a 30 per cent stake in a project in Myanmar. In October, GAIL and ONGC Videsh, a unit of ONGC, bought a 30 per cent stake in an adjoining field.
