DCI Group has picked up a $3M one-year pact to help Myanmar rebuild its relations with the US.
The focus is on trade, natural resources and humanitarian relief, especially in the wake of the massive earthquake that rocked the former Burma on March 28, killing at least 5,400 people.

The US imposed sanctions on Myanmar relations for the military’s 2017 genocide of the Rohingya people and 2021 coup.
