Coca-Cola to enter Myanmar
Coca-Cola is trying to get one step closer to buying the whole world a coke. This morning the company announced plans to re-enter Burma for the first time in more than 60 years. After decades of isolation and military rule, Myanmar — also known as Burma — has recently been opening up to the global economy and democracy.
