A Myanmar delegation led by Union Minister for Construction U Myo Thant visited the Republic of Korea from 25 to 30 August to observe construction and maintenance technologies for large cable-stayed bridges in connection with the Myanmar-Korea Friendship (Dala) Bridge project.

During the trip, the Union minister and party met with companies responsible for construction and consultancy works of the Dala Bridge, discussing project progress, challenges and long-term durability measures.

They also visited the Korea Authority of Land and Infrastructure Safety (KALIS) headquarters in Mokpo to learn classification of bridge types, regular inspection systems, and advanced monitoring technologies applied to super bridges. The delegation then observed construction sites to study design integration with maintenance systems.
