CHINESE CALL FOR STRONGER TRADE TIES WITH BURMA
***********************************************
China's Foreign Trade Minister, Wu Yi, has called for
stronger economic and trade ties with Burma.
Mrs Wu's remarks, carried by the Xinhua newsagency, were
made during a meeting with her Burmese counterpart, Tun
Kyi.
Trade between the two countries currently stands at only
700-million dollars.
During the talks, Mrs Wu urged both sides to explore new
areas of cooperation, especially along the border which
Burma shares with China's Yunnan province.
China is a major foreign investor in Burma.
