Myanmar president leaves for visit to China

Xinhua, April 6, 2017 Adjust font size:

Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw left Nay Pyi Taw for Beijing on Thursday morning to begin a six-day state visit to China.

The visit is aimed at enhancing mutual understanding and promoting friendly relations and cooperation between Myanmar and China, according to official sources.

U Htin Kyaw is expected to meet Chinese leaders and exchange views on furthering bilateral relations and cooperation.

In August last year, Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi also visited Beijing.

Myanmar-China relations have been traditionally good since Myanmar's independence and the founding of the People's Republic of China with frequent reciprocal visits made by leaders of the two countries.

China topped Myanmar's foreign investment line-up, accounting for 26.57 percent of the total. Endit
