Completion of Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone urged to speed up

Union Minister for the Ministry 2 of the President’s Office U Ko Ko Hlaing has urged to speed up and to cooperate the completion of the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone project, which is important for both Myanmar and China, and to continue to cooperate. Union Minister U Ko Ko Hlaing made the remarks at the 10th anniversary celebration of CITIC Myanmar’s CSR activities held at the Strand Hotel in Yangon on December 5.

The Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone project is an important part of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and will also serve as a golden gateway for Myanmar to quickly export large quantities of Myanmar’s exports to the world market, said Union Minister U Ko Ko Hlaing. CITIC Group, amidst various difficulties, has continuously supported and assisted the Myanmar people with genuine sincerity and goodwill, proving to be a loyal and good friend.

The completion of the Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone project will significantly boost Myanmar’s socio-economic development and China-Myanmar economic and trade cooperation. CITIC Myanmar, as a project implementer, has carried out “Small and Beautiful” social welfare projects in Myanmar, including mobile clinics, mangrove planting, the “Smiling Children” food donation program, and the “CITIC Star” scholarship initiative, actively fulfilling its social responsibilities, said Ms. Ma Jia, Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar.
