Myanmar authorities announced Wednesday that a consortium of six foreign group companies, led by China's CITIC, has won the bid for implementing two projects of the country's newly planned special economic zone (SEZ) in Kyaukphyu, western Rakhine state.

The transnational consortium involves five Chinese and one Thai firms.

The announcement for construction and operation of industrial park and deep sea port projects of the Kyaukphyu SEZ was made by Myanmar's Kyaukphyu SEZ Bidding Evaluation and Awarding Committee (BEAC) following the approval by the government cabinet and parliament.

The CITIC Consortium also comprises Thailand Charoen Pokphand Group Company Limited (CP Group), China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC), China Merchants Holdings (International) Co. LTD(CMHI), TEDA Investment Holding(TEDA) and Yunnan Construction Engineering Group(YNJG).
