AN advisory commission tasked with finding solutions to the ethnic conflict in Rakhine State has recommended that the government conducts a strategic environmental assessment and labour market assessment for Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone (SEZ). It also questioned the land acquisition activities in the area. The final report of former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s commission on Rakhine issue was submitted to President U Htin Kyaw on August 23 and subsequently released.
