Yangon, June 6 (IANS) Myanmar's state-run radio and television (MRTV) and the Voice of America (VOA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), official media reported Wednesday.

The MoU was signed during the visit of VOA Director David Ensor, reported Xinhua.

In Nay Pyi Taw Tuesday, Myanmar Minister of Information and Culture U Kyaw Hsan and Ensor discussed VOA's assistance to Myanmar with advanced equipment and training courses for the employees of the MRTV to improve their technological skill, the New Light of Myanmar said.
