NAY PYI TAW, Myanmar, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- A high-ranking delegation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Thursday concluded its three-day good-will visit to Myanmar and left for Vietnam, the last leg of its tour to four southeast Asian nations.

During the visit, the delegation led by Zhang Gaoli, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and party chief of China's Tianjin municipality, met with Myanmar Prime Minister General Thein Sein and member of the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) Lieutenant-General Tin Aye in Nay Pyi Taw.


Zhang exchanged views with Thein Sein on bilateral ties, domestic political and economic situation and issues of common concern. Both sides expressed wishes to further strengthen their cooperation in all sectors.

Also during the visit, Zhang met with Yangon Mayor Brigadier-General Aung Thein Lin in the former capital where he attended a signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding between the China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) Tianjin Chamber of Commerce and the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) on promotion of trade cooperation between the two parties.

Zhang's CPC delegation arrived Yangon Tuesday for a three-day good-will visit to Myanmar at the invitation of the SPDC.

Myanmar is the third leg of Zhang's trip to four southeastern Asian nations which had taken him to Laos and Cambodia.
