YANGON Myanmar and China signed agreements on the economy, trade and technical cooperation during the Chinese foreign minister’s trip to Myanmar’s capital, Naypyitaw, including a promise from Beijing to provide 300,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to its southern neighbor.
Wang Yi launched his first Southeast Asian tour of 2021 on Monday with an official visit to Myanmar. Wang is the first foreign minister to visit Myanmar since the Nov. 8 election, which the National League for Democracy (NLD) won in a landslide. He announced the donation of 3 million yuan (about US$464,000) worth of COVID-19 medical supplies to Myanmar during his trip.
