A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday, with strong tremors felt as far away as Bangkok, Hanoi and southwest China. Our thoughts are with the victims and those affected by this disaster.

The APRIL Group has set up a crisis unit to contact all our policyholders on the ground and to show its support for its local partners.

All APRIL employees in the region - and particularly in our Bangkok offices - are safe.

We are keeping a close eye on developments in the situation to adapt our measures in real time.
