Addressing the opening ceremony of the forum, Su Wei, deputy secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, said that important projects including the New Yangon City project, Kyauk Phyu Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Deep-Sea Port project and China-Myanmar railway project have made significant progress.

"Myanmar considers the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor be crucial to our broader efforts to promote economic and social well-being of our peoples," said U Tun Tun Naing, permanent secretary of the Ministry of Planning and Finance of Myanmar.

The signing of the framework agreement on the Kyauk Phyu SEZ Deep-Sea Port project in November 2018 is a glorious chapter in the history of our collaboration, he said, adding that "this project is critical in enhancing regional connectivity, boosting the growth of local economies and strengthening the ties between China and Myanmar."

Zhang Yi, a Burmese student from Pu'er city in Yunnan, was employed by a Chinese company in Yangon, Myanmar when she graduated in 2017.

A year later, she resigned and started her own business in the tourism industry because she believed that the Belt and Road Initiative would be crowned with success in Myanmar.

Hearing about the progress of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, Zhang invested all the money she has made to expand her business and launched customized tour products and high-end business group reception in 2018.
