China, Myanmar Sign Cooperation Accords

The Chinese and Myanmar governments signed Sunday three agreements on bilateral cooperation in the economic, scientific-technological and tourism spheres.

The documents were signed by Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Wang Guangya and Deputy Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Minister Chen Xinhua, and by Myanmar Deputy National Planning and Economic Development Minister Zaw Tun and other Myanmar high- ranking officials.

Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao, who arrived here earlier Sunday for a three-day official visit, and Vice-Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of Myanmar Maung Aye took part in the signing ceremony.

Soon after his arrival, Hu held one-hour talks with Maung Aye. The two leaders expressed their willingness to further consolidate and develop friendly relations and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.
