During the event, MACA Chairperson Daw Aye Thinzar Thu, YOCCF Chair Mr Xia Yong, and Peking University Cancer Hospital Yunnan Hospital Chair Mr Qin Jiyong delivered opening remarks. The MoU was then formally signed by the chairpersons of both organizations. Subsequently, MACA Honourary Patron Director Pachi Soe Moe and Daw Aye Thinzar Thu presented certificates of honour to the responsible personnel.

The YOCCF team had conducted free cleft lip and palate surgeries for children at Thingangyun Sanpya Hospital in Yangon from 9 to 14 October.

The newly signed MoU seeks to enhance cultural exchanges between Myanmar and China’s Yunnan Province through joint participation in cultural festivals, professional exchanges among scholars and artistes, and continued collaboration to promote mutual understanding in the fields of traditional culture and the arts.
