KUNMING, Dec. 14 -- From traditional marionettes and wood carvings to handmade carpets depicting Bagan's renowned pagodas and stupas, Myanmar exhibitor Thet Thet Naing was more than proud to showcase her country's best handicrafts at a border trade fair in the southwestern Chinese city of Ruili.
Thet Thet Naing, a trade promotion officer from the Yadanarbon Trade Center in Mandalay, said she was attending the ongoing 18th China-Myanmar Border Economic and Trade Fair for the second time, and has brought more types of traditional handicrafts to impress Chinese visitors.
"We've received many orders for our customized carpets from Chinese hotels thanks to the fair in Ruili," she said. "I hope this year's fair will let more Chinese visitors and exhibitors know about Myanmar's cultural products."
Thet Thet Naing is among a large number of domestic and overseas exhibitors who have flocked to the fair to display more than 2,000 kinds of items at over 500 booths, representing a record high in the event's history. This year's fair runs from Dec. 10 to 16.
So far, a total of 24 projects with investment totaling nearly 20 billion yuan (2.8 billion U.S. dollars) have been signed at the fair. The projects cover tourism, agriculture, logistics, wood processing and other areas.
"The fair has become a model of bilateral cooperation since it was inaugurated in 2001," said Zhao Gang, Party secretary of Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, which administers Ruili. He added that the fair has greatly contributed to the development of bilateral trade and benefited the people in the border areas.
