At the meeting with Myanmar’s Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing on January 12, Wang said the main purpose of his trip is to communicate with Myanmar on implementing the results of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit last year and exchange views on developing bilateral ties in the next stage.
He said China hopes the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) will be fully implemented to help Myanmar to develop and revitalise. He also announced that China will provide assistance of vaccines and medical supplies to help Myanmar fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and encourage Chinese enterprises to carry out further vaccine cooperation with Myanmar.
