Myanmar youth delegation heads to China for cultural exchange

A Myanmar youth delegation left here for Beijing Wednesday to attend the first China-ASEAN Youth Cultural Exchange program.

The program, which will kick off on Aug. 1, is aimed at promoting friendly relations between youths of China and member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in which Myanmar is a member.

The eight-member student delegation, led by a teacher, was seen off by Secretary of Myanmar-China Friendship Association U Soe Win.

The students, who passed the 2013 matriculation examination with outstanding results, were selected by the Ministry of Education to attend the cultural exchange program in China and have been given a two-week special training at Yangon University of Foreign Languages.

At a function hosted by Myanmar-China Friendship Association before departure of the Myanmar youth delegation, Chinese Counselor Lu Zhi received the delegation.
