VICE-CHAIRMAN of the State Administration Council Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win attended the reception to mark the 75th anniversary of founding the Russia-Myanmar diplomatic ties at Hotel Hilton in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday evening.
The ceremony was opened with Russian
and Myanmar national anthems. Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Myanmar
Dr Nikolay Listopadov delivered an opening speech.
Speaking on the occasion, the
Vice-Senior General said that Myanmar values the persistent support of Russia
to Myanmar between them and in the international arena during the period when
the friendly relations have been maintained since 18 February 1948.
Symbols of the friendship between
Myanmar and Russia proved Sao San Tun Hospital in Taunggyi of Shan State in
1961, the Yangon Institute of Technology in 1961, Yangon Inya Lake Hotel in
1962 and Kyetmauktaung Dam in 1967 as part of reflecting the sustainable relations
between the two countries.
From 1980-1990 to date, new-generation
Myanmar youths were sent to Russia to make further studies in order to have
higher knowledge and techniques as well as to enhance the defence capability of
Myanmar. In 2021 when the State Administration Council stated the assumption of
State responsibilities, remarkable progress could be seen in Myanmar-Russia
relations.
The Vice-Senior General said that he
took pride in the highest relations between the two countries thanks to the
farsightedness and endeavours of both leaders. He expressed his firm belief
that the potential for future cooperation between the two countries can be seen
to multiply the good results for both countries. Myanmar arranges the opening
of Myanmar consulates-general in St Petersburg and Novosibirsk of Russia soon
to higher friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
The Vice-Senior General praised for
Myanmar and Russian governments and the peoples for successfully walking
together along the 75 years of friendly relations and made best wishes for the
peoples of both countries to have perpetuity of friendship, further prosperity
of the Russian Federation and Russian people and physical and mental well-being
of both leaders and friends.
The Vice-Senior General and the
Russian Federation cut the diamond jubilee cake to mark the diplomatic ties
between Russia and Myanmar.
The Vice-Senior General and the
Russian Ambassador enjoyed the dancing entertainment of the Russian dancing
troupe and presented the flower basket to them. Later, they had dinner together
with the attendees.
