Before the Covid outbreak, Myanmar exhibitors brought their products to Kunming and expanded the market thanks to the trade fairs. Now, the Myanmar products and services are displayed online, which is also conducive to economic exchanges between Myanmar and China.

Noting Yunnan’s transferring role in bilateral trade, Thaw Tar Aung showed the audience Myanmar scenic beauty and folk customs via a video, and he invited Chinese tourists to his country for vacations when the Covid pandemic is brought under control.
