BANGKOK—Shareholders of the French energy company Total have voted to suspend payments of dividends to stakeholders in the joint venture company running a gas pipeline in Burma, the company said Wednesday.
Pressure has been growing on companies with investments or operations linked to the Burma (also known as Myanmar) military to suspend any financial support following a Feb. 1 coup. The Yadana pipeline is partly owned by Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprises, a government-controlled entity.
