  • 9 December 2020 MITSUBISHI CORPORATION SELECTS CAF TO
    9 December 2020 MITSUBISHI CORPORATION SELECTS CAF TO SUPPLY TRAINS FOR THE MYANMA RAILWAYS PROJECT Mitsubishi Corporation has subcontracted CAF for design and supply 246 modern Diesel- Electric Multiple Units (DEMU) in the framework of the contract the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar awarded to Mitsubishi Corporation. The contract comprises of the supply of eleven 6-car units for the Yangon circular railway upgrading project, and the supply of a further thirty 6-car units for the Yangon-Mandalay II railway upgrading project. The volume of the operation with CAF exceeds €500 million and is being funded through an international loan, in yen, pursuant to an agreement between the governments of Japan and Myanmar. This agreement not only covers the supply of the trains, but also the comprehensive upgrading of the infrastructure on both lines, including signalling system modernisation, work on tracks and station improvements. Eleven of the new units will be supplied for the first line, called the circular line, which runs 46 km through the centre of Yangon, Myanmar's largest commercial city. As a result of this project, the plan is to reduce by 60 minutes from the current 170 minutes travel time required to travel along this line. The other 30 units will also run on the 620 km long Yangon-Mandalay line, which connects Yangon city to the country's capital, Naypyidaw, and the second largest commercial city, Mandalay. The journey time will also be significantly reduced, going from approximately 15 hours to around 8 hours once the project is completed.

    Welcome to Belmond Governor's Résidence Enter a city where the past is alive. History plays out across Yangon's colourful streets CHAPTER ONE Discover Myanmar "This is Burma," wrote Rudyard Kipling, "and it is unlike any land you know about." The same sense of wonder is invoked at Belmond Governor's Residence To venture to Myanmar is to take the the road less travelled. Recent history has left the country closed off from the world and relatively untouched. Today visitors can discover vibrant cities, blissful beaches and resplendent Buddhist temples – the hallmark of this sacred land. Arrive at Yangon International Airport and you'll be greeted by a sign that reads: "Welcome to Myanmar – The Golden Country". Perched on the banks of the vast Yangon River, Yangon is Myanmar's largest city. Here, past and present live in harmony. Fin-de-siècle architecture rubs shoulders with modern buildings, roads circle majestic temples. Against this vibrant backdrop, the gentle Burmese people go about their daily lives. In the leafy Embassy Quarter, Belmond Governor's Residence offers an idyllic escape. Dating from the 1920s, this mansion is a relic from a romantic era in which colonial grandeur is married with Burmese beauty. Set amid tropical gardens, the hotel is especially magical at sunset. After a day exploring, take time to reflect in the balmy evening air. BELMOND GOVERNOR'S RÉSIDENCE BELMOND.COM/GOVERNORSRESIDENCE BELMOND GOVERNOR'S RÉSIDENCE BELMOND.COM/GOVERNORSRESIDENCE Golden stupas reach into a diffuse sky as the majestic Yangon River carves its path.
