"The company can restart construction in a few months if the two governments reach agreement," said Mr Premchai. "I have promised to Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi that ITD will speed up construction as soon as possible." ITD also plans to invest in an additional coal-fired power plant once the Dawei industrial zone is fully developed. But the road construction was delayed as the new Myanmar government asked to re-study the loan plans. Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith is scheduled to head the Thai delegation meeting the Myanmar government on Friday as both sides aim to update the Dawei development project.
