EU to continue supporting local SMEs

The small- and medium-sized enterprises-SMEs locally will still be provided by the European Union, stated the EU.
The European Union (ARISE Plus) programme continues to support sustainable trade and provides international trade opportunities for SMEs, said the EU.
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic and political crisis, as well as other related challenges, the income and livelihoods of more than 6,000 farmers in various agricultural sectors have been maintained, and human rights-friendly exports have been supplied. In addition, it was announced on 28 February that the creation and maintenance of suitable jobs for women and youth will be done to help the Myanmar people cope with the current crisis. — TWA/CT
