Visiting Myanmar Prime Minister Soe Win said Friday his country
is ready to draw on the experience in setting up a high-tech park
from southern China's Guangdong Province.
Soe Win on Friday left Xi'an, capital of China's northwestern
Shaanxi Province, for Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, to
continue his five-day official visit to the country.
When visiting the Science Park of Guangzhou, he said Myanmar is
anxious to draw on Guangdong's experience in building a high-tech
park or special economic zone to develop its own economy.
In his meeting with vice provincial governor Tang Bingquan, Soe
Win said the economic cooperation between Myanmar and Guangdong is
developing rapidly. He believes his current China tour will further
promote bilateral cooperation and exchange in various fields.
Soe Win said Myanmar attaches great importance to its friendly
cooperation with its neighboring countries, especially China. He
hopes in the future more Chinese firms will invest in Myanmar. His
country is to provide legal insurance for the Chinese investors, he
added.
Tang said in recent years, local enterprises in Guangdong and
Myanmar have expanded their cooperation. At present, more than ten
Myanmar enterprises are investing in Guangdong, while many
Guangdong companies also do business in Myanmar.
Soe Win will end his China tour on Saturday after visiting
Shenzhen, an economic booming city of Guangdong province.
