Looking forward to 2021, China will implement the"14th Five-Year Plan"and Myanmar will start a new five-year government period. China is willing to strengthen policy alignment with Myanmar, exchange experience in governance, coordinate for promotion of anti-epidemic and commit to the cause of peace and development, so that China-Myanmar relations will be more vigorous in the new era and benefit the Myanmar people earlier.
