China ranks first among foreign countries providing training programs to Myanmar in terms of the number of short-term training programs and trainees, the official newspaper Global New Light of Myanmar reported Wednesday.

The Chinese embassy has also helped send 17 Myanmar teachers and officials from vocation schools to take part in training programs in China in 2016, the report said.

The training programs are expected to assist Myanmar in capacity building, a Chinese embassy official was quoted as saying.
