The US has lifted more of its economic sanctions on Myanmar to signal its support for ongoing political reform after decades of military rule.
The US removed 10 state-owned companies in the banking, timber and mining industries from the blacklist.
However, most restrictions on trade and investment with Myanmar’s still-powerful army remained in place.
