On December 14, the handover ceremony of the China-assisted Myanmar National Stadium maintenance and renovation project that our company participated in was held in Yangon. Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar Chen Hai, Minister of Sports and Youth of Myanmar Min Thein Zan, Chief Minister of Yangon Province Rasaw Soe, Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Embassy Tan Shufu and others attended the event and cut the ribbon for the project handover.
Myanmar National Stadium began construction in February 1983 with the assistance of China and was completed in March 1986, costing 31077.43 million kyat. It covers an area of about 17.17 acres and has 10,825 seats, which is one of the few in Southeast Asia in the 1980s “ The Pavilion of all people ” After its completion, it is known as China and Myanmar “ A monument of friendship ” . Because the pavilion, as the most major sports venue in Myanmar, has been used frequently for more than 30 years, the facilities and equipment are aging, the air conditioning system is insufficient, and the fire protection system is broken, the authorities decided to carry out the renovation with the assistance of China and completed it this year.
In August 2019, China and Myanmar held a groundbreaking ceremony. As a subcontractor, Zhonglu Sports overcame the epidemic and other difficulties, continued to promote the construction, and in December 2021, the project was successfully completed and successfully handed over. Here, the people of Myanmar can build up their health and athletes can train and prepare for war. At the same time, it will also provide greater convenience for Myanmar to hold various competitions and activities.
said U Min Thein Zan, Myanmar's minister of Sports and youth Affairs, “ Myanmar and China enjoy a long history of friendly exchanges, and the two peoples are like brothers and sisters with profound pauk-phaw friendship &rdquo. . During the construction of the stadium, China provided the needed help, for which Myanmar is deeply grateful. With a capacity of 10,825 people, the stadium has held international level sports competitions, domestic sports competitions, as well as many ceremonies, and trained national sports players since its inception. ”
The stadium renovation project cost 220 million yuan. The Chinese side completed the renovation of the National Indoor Stadium in accordance with the original shape and within the specified time, which is a good example of China-Myanmar cooperation. China's help will be a milestone in the history of the two countries.
Sports is a hobby shared by mankind and an important sign of social development and human progress. In 2022, China will host the 24th Winter Olympic Games and the 19th Asian Games. In 51 days' time, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will be grandly opened, which people around the world have been waiting for for a long time. Preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are almost complete. The international community, including the IOC, has highly recognized China's preparations.

Upholding the principles of green, shared, open and clean, China has the confidence and ability to work with the IOC and other countries to demonstrate greater unity in the Olympic spirit, deliver simple, safe and splendid Olympic Games to the world, promote the international Olympic cause and make new contribution to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
