Posted on December 31, 2024

December is a month of completion that brings spectacular moments. AYA Bank is proud to share that U Myat Min Htin Kyaw, Deputy CEO of AYA Pay, represented Myanmar as the sole delegate at the prestigious ASEAN-Japan Future Generation Business Leaders Summit in December 2024 and led his team to victory, securing the winning prize in the summit’s competition—a remarkable achievement that underscores Myanmar’s potential on the global stage.

Held in Kyoto, Japan, and co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), and PoliPoli Inc., the summit brought together 35 future-generation business leaders from ASEAN and Japan. These leaders collaboratively developed a joint declaration of policy proposals, addressing critical issues such as AI governance, human resource mobility, and impact investment — key priorities for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

In addition to the competition success, U Myat Min Htin Kyaw engaged in high-level discussions with prominent regional leaders, and other business representatives, to explore opportunities for strategic partnerships and cross-regional collaboration.

This accomplishment is a shining example of the leadership and innovation emerging from Myanmar. At AYA Bank, we are committed to empowering initiatives that strengthen Myanmar’s role in solving global challenges, fostering progress, and driving collaboration across borders. Together, we shape a brighter future for all.
