The Coca-Cola Co. will return to Burma, following the U.S. government’s recent lifting of sanctions against the country.
Burma was one of three countries – including Cuba and North Korea – where the company did not do business.
Coca-Cola first entered the Burmese market in 1927.
Coca-Cola said its products would at first be imported from neighboring countries as it goes about building local operations.
As part of its re-entry to Burma, Coca-Cola said it will donate US$ 3 million to support job creation for women in the country through PACT, a non-governmental group that supports economic and health initiatives in developing nations.
