Efforts are underway to establish fast, cost-effective and efficient freight transport networks between Myanmar and Chongqing, China, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
To enhance cooperation in the freight transport sector between Myanmar and Chongqing, business networking meetings between the Myanmar International Freight Forwarders Association (MIFFA) and Chongqing business and logistics operators were held in cooperation with the Consulate-General of Myanmar in Chongqing and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT-Chongqing).
Several business networking meetings were held at different locations, including an introductory meeting between MIFFA and Chongqing business and logistics operators at the conference hall of CCPIT-Chongqing, a networking meeting between MIFFA and logistics operators in Yuzhong District, organized in collaboration with the Yuzhong District Foreign Affairs Office at the World Financial Centre (WFC), and an introductory meeting between MIFFA and logistics operators in Liangjiang New Area, organized in cooperation with the Liangjiang New Area Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (Chongqing). These business networking sessions took place during a visit by a 30-member delegation led by MIFFA Chairman U Kyaw Lwin Oo, which met with economic organizations in Chongqing from 4 to 9 September.
The MIFFA delegation also visited Chongqing’s Guoyuan Port, a maritime transport hub and a key node on the China-Myanmar trade route, as well as the air cargo and e-commerce departments at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport and the Chongqing International Expo Centre (Myanmar Jade Exhibition Hall).
Through these networking meetings, the Myanmar delegation had the opportunity to study the development of Chongqing’s freight transport network and the achievements of the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (ILSTC), while exploring opportunities to strengthen trade and logistics connectivity between Myanmar and Chinese entrepreneurs and establish cooperative partnerships. — ASH/TH
