Telenor Group seeks to be as open as possible and contribute to drawing learnings from its time in Myanmar. Below is an overview of the statements and editorial opinion pieces penned by Telenor spokespeople, both on this website and in news media.

It should be noted that Telenor Group, also after the completion of the sale, is restricted from full openness due to people safety concerns for employees in Telenor Myanmar, as well as due to ongoing review processes involving external parties.
