Burma has set up a central committee and a working committee for launching satellite in a bid to promote the capacity of the country's telecommunication and information sectors, said China's Xinhua news agency quoting a local report on Wednesday. Under the patronage of the first secretary of the ruling junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the seven-member working committee was formed with director of communications of the defence ministry as chairman and director- general of the Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications as the secretary, the report said. The central committee for launching satellite will lay down policy with the launching of state-operated satellite, approve satellite-launching memorandums of understanding and other related documents, and carry out tasks aimed at obtaining space-related technology.
