POSCO Coated & Color Steel Co Ltd (POSCO C&C) (058430.KS) said on Friday it will end its joint venture with Myanmar Economic Holdings Public Co Ltd (MEHL), a firm controlled by the military in Myanmar which took control of the country in February.
The South Korean firm did not detail how it will end the venture, saying in a statement that it will continue to disclose related issues. A POSCO C&C spokesman told Reuters that, though the firm is ending the venture relationship, it is not pulling out Myanmar.
