China, Myanmar to Step up Cooperation: Vice Premier

China is ready to add greater substance to its friendly relations with Myanmar by promoting bilateral cooperation to a new level, Chinese Vice Premier Li Lanqing said Tuesday in Yangon.

Shortly after arriving in Yangon, capital city of Myanmar, Li held talks with First Secretary of the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) of the Union of Myanmar, General Khin Nyunt, on Tuesday afternoon.

After the talks, Li and Khin Nyunt attended the signing ceremony of three documents, including a protocol on writing off part of the due debts that Myanmar borrowed from China.

During the talks, Li put forward detailed suggestions on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the fields of trade, economy, science, technology, education, culture, public health and sports.

Li said the heads of state of the two countries have already set the key areas of cooperation. Li said the two countries should continue to expand the scale and scope of two-way trade. He said the two countries should step up personnel training and exchanges in such fields as science, technology, education and public health in various forms. He said the two sides should also strengthen cooperation and coordination in such multi lateral occasions as the World Health Organization.

Li expressed the belief that under the direct attention of the leaders of the two countries and the joint effort of the two governments, Sino-Myanmar cooperation will bear greater fruits.

Khin Nyunt agreed with Li on his suggestion of expanding cooperation in the scientific, technological and educational areas. He expressed the hope that China will continue to give support to Myanmar in these areas.
