The Lancang-Mekong Fruit Procurement Festival was held in Yangon, Myanmar, on Thursday.

A total of 26 Chinese companies in the fields of agriculture, logistics and cross-border e-commerce, were in Yangon to negotiate fruit trade with representatives of 14 Myanmar companies and business associations.

Fei Yunhan, a representative from the Department of Commerce of Yunnan Province, China, said at the event that as a frontier province for China's participation in the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation, Yunnan has achieved fruitful results in economic and trade cooperation with Myanmar, and fruit trade between the two sides is a model of win-win cooperation.

The festival is not only an important platform for promoting economic and cultural exchanges between China and Myanmar, but also a solid bond that closely connects the two countries, she added.

U Soe Than Min Din, chairman of Myanmar Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Producer and Exporter Association, said that Myanmar and China have long been friendly neighbors. China is a main export destination for Myanmar fruit products, and a deep friendship between the two countries provides opportunities for fruit and vegetable trade.
