Ambassador of China to Myanmar： I hope Myanmar will intensify its efforts to crack down on illegal cross-border criminal activities such as online fraud and gambling.

　　Cctv newsOn March 23rd, China’s Ambassador to Myanmar, Chen Hai, met with Myanmar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Lieutenant General Suotu, and the two sides held talks on stepping up efforts to crack down on illegal cross-border criminal activities such as online fraud and gambling.

　　Ambassador Chen Hai pointed out that illegal cross-border criminal activities such as online fraud and gambling harm people’s interests and safety, undermine social stability and order, and affect China-Myanmar exchanges and cooperation.

In view of the recent continuation of illegal activities in Myanmar, Myanmar is willing to join forces with China and other relevant neighboring countries to resolutely crack down and effectively curb them, and jointly safeguard the friendly cooperation between Myanmar and China and the safety of people’s lives and property.
