Yunnan Provincial People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries

On September 9th, the "Heart to Heart, Yunnan Journey" Myanmar Muse Nanki Hanhe Environmental Protection and Management Project was officially launched in Ruili City. The representatives of China and Myanmar pressed the "start button" for cross-border ecological environment protection cooperation together, opening a new chapter in the coordinated environmental management of border areas.

Yue Manlu, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office of Dehong State, said the project is an important practice for deepening ecological and environmental protection cooperation between China and Myanmar in border areas. It is not only a concrete measure to respond to the needs of regional green development, but also lays a foundation for broader cooperation between the two countries in the field of environmental governance. U Wunar, the administrative head of the Myitkyina Town Government, said that the town government will actively participate in the project and jointly protect the border environment, creating a more livable living environment for the people of both places.

During the ceremony, China also donated garbage trucks, trash bins, and trash cans to Myanmar.
