NAYPYITAW — Naypyitaw’s municipal administration has announced plans for an international university to be built in the capital’s diplomatic zone in Dekkhinathiri Township.
The Naypyitaw Development Committee (NPTDC) is awaiting project approval and land allocation in the diplomatic zone by the Foreign Ministry and the President’s Office, committee member U Min Thu told The Irrawaddy.
South Korea will fund and provide technical assistance for construction of the university, which is expected to take less than two years, U Min Thu said. The university is expected to open its doors in 2020.
A delegation representing the university’s founding committee led by Sung Ki Baik visited NPTDC officials in early March to discuss the project.
The institution will provide instruction in a wide variety of vocational subjects tailored to the needs of the region and local people, U Min Thu said. The name of the university has yet to be decided, he said.
