YANGON, March 9 (Bernama) -- Myanmar has set up a central committee and a working committee for launching satellite in a bid to promote the capacity of the country's telecommunication and information sectors, says China's Xinhua news agency citing a local report on Wednesday.
With the first secretary of the ruling State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) as its patron, the central committee is made up of five members with the minister of communications, posts and telegraphs as chairman and its members comprise officials from the information and the defense ministries, a recent announcement of the SPDC was quoted by the Popular News as saying.
According to Xinhua, the seven-member working committee was formed with director of communications of the defence ministry as chairman and director- general of the Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications as the secretary.
The central committee for launching satellite will lay down policy with the launching of state-operated satellite, approve satellite-launching memorandums of understanding and other related documents, and carry out tasks aimed at obtaining space-related technology.
The establishment of Myanmar's committees for launching satellite signifies the country's entry into a higher stage of space technology, observers here said.
