ANGON (March 24, 2026) — U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Sonnek visited the Yangon International Mobility Show at the Yangon Convention Center today, signaling a continued effort to strengthen commercial ties and support American enterprises in the local market.

During the visit, CDA Sonnek stopped by the Ford exhibition booth to support the prominent American automotive brand and highlight the U.S. commitment to fair competition for American companies in Myanmar. This engagement emphasizes the importance of a level playing field for international businesses operating within the country.

"We’re proud to stand with U.S. businesses bringing more choices to Myanmar’s auto market!" the Chargé d’Affaires stated during the event.

This visit marks the latest in a series of economic engagements by the U.S. government. It follows a significant agreement signed on February 25 at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s regional office in Bangkok, where Myanmar entrepreneurs and U.S. officials finalized a deal for the export of American soybean meal to Myanmar. The Embassy’s active participation in the mobility show, coming just a month after the agricultural agreement, highlights a strategic trend of increasing direct engagement between U.S. diplomatic leadership and Myanmar’s business community.
