CHINESE Ambassador to My-
anmar Ms Ma Jia has said that
stronger efforts must be made
on three key points to further
strengthen people-to-people ties
between China and Myanmar.
She made the remarks
during the China-Myanmar
People-to-People Connectivity
Dialogue and the second-quar-
ter 2026 China-Myanmar Me-
dia Exchange meeting, held at
Wyndham Grand Yangon Hotel
on 26 May.
Firstly, she said both sides
should engage with openness,
transparency and inclusiveness,
while expanding and deepening
exchanges between the peoples
of the two countries. Secondly,
she said both countries should
support each other with a spirit
of mutual assistance and firmly
uphold the fundamental objec-
tive of building a China-Myan-
mar community that shares
both prosperity and hardship.
The third point is to work for the
benefit of the people through the
concept of mutual benefit.
“To maintain good rela-
tions between countries, peo-
ple-to-people friendship is es-
sential, and to achieve that, there
must be emotional connectivity
between the people. To build
such a bridge of mutual under-
standing, remove misunder-
standings and increase mutual
trust, it is first necessary to un-
derstand the true and accurate
image of each country as it really
is,” Ambassador Ms Ma Jia said.
During the discussion, par-
ticipants exchanged views on
creating accurate national imag-
es that truly reflect the realities
of both China and Myanmar, pro-
moting mutual understanding
and trust between the peoples of
the two countries, and continuing
to preserve and strengthen the
Pauk-Phaw friendship between
the two nations.
