China and Myanmar to Increase Practical Cooperation

China president, Xi Jinping has asked the Myanmar Council of State, Aung San Suu Kyi, to increase practical cooperation between the two countries in order to move ahead with strategic and comprehensive collaboration, according to a government statement.

Gathered in the Indian state of Goa, Xi told Suu Kyi that Beijing is willing to work with Yangon to continue their traditional friendship and expand mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas.

His comments came on Sunday in the framework of the annual summit of BRICS, where he gave some examples of current areas of cooperation: industrial parks, infrastructure construction, agriculture, water conservation, education, health care, tourism, Buddhism and local affairs.

He acknowledged that Myanmar is maintaining a good momentum of development and called on the Burmese people to continue making steady progress on a path to development which suits its own national conditions. (Courtesy of plenglish.com)
