Myanmar Prime Minister General Soe Win said on Thursday that Myanmar wishes to establish ties with banks of China and launch cooperation to promote economic development of the two countries.

Soe Win made the remarks when meeting with visiting President of the China Development Bank Chen Yuan in the new capital of Nay Pyi Taw.

Noting that Chinese banks started reform earlier than Myanmar for more than a decade and possess many successful experiences, Soe Win said the country would like to learn from China in these aspects.

Chen Yuan also called on Myanmar Minister of National Planning and Economic Development U Soe Tha and Minister of Finance and Revenue Major-General Hla Tun earlier on the same day.

It is the first time for a China Development Bank delegation to have visited Myanmar.
