As affected by epidemic, both Myanmar and Chinese importers and exporters carried out online communication and planned to hold free taste fair in Beijing, Sanya, Chengdu, Tianjin, Kunming and Changsha.

China is the main trade partner of Myanmar. Khin Maung Lwin, the spokesman of Ministry of Commerce of Myanmar said the export amount to China is accounting for 30% of its external trade.
