Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC), said there is potential for cooperation between the railway and aircraft factories in Myanmar and the Buryatia region of Russia.

“I visited the railway factory, and I also visited the aircraft factory earlier. These are potential areas where our two sides can cooperate. Moreover, Buryatia has Buddhist residents, and since Myanmar is also a Buddhist country, there is potential for cooperation related to Buddhism as well. There are also opportunities for cooperation in the health sector. In addition, the Prime Minister has extended an offer regarding educational cooperation,” said the SAC Chairman.
In addition, there will be cooperation in education, and there will be discussions and implementation of agricultural-related activities, and there are many areas to be implemented, said the SAC Chairman.

I will try to come again,” the SAC Chairman replied.
The Buryatia State Governor also said, “We hope to implement many cooperation projects with our state and Myanmar. In the past few years, we have been registering Rapid Bio to import our pharmaceutical products to Myanmar. Our helicopters, manufactured by our Ulan-Ude helicopter factory, have been in use in Myanmar for many years now. We are currently using them, and in the future, we plan to do many cooperation projects in the field of helicopter transportation.”
