After the bombing, Myanmar's then-dictator Ne Win severed diplomatic relations with North Korea, but those ties were restored in 2007. The United States and other nations have expressed concern about Myanmar's relationship with nuclear-armed North Korea. Arms experts say Myanmar -- which faces an arms embargo from many Western states
-- gets weaponry from the North in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Some believe there is nuclear cooperation between the two countries, which Myanmar denies. South Korea is the fourth-largest foreign investor in Myanmar after China, Hong Kong and Thailand with a total investment of $2.67 billion for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, according to the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development.
