NAYPYITAW, 28 November 2021, (TON): Five shipping containers of produce were exchanged at the Kyin San Kyawt border gate, around 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) from the northern Myanmar city of Muse.
Officials said “two Myanmar-China border crossings have re-opened for trade after the movement of goods was suspended for almost seven months.”
Five shipping containers of produce were exchanged on Friday at the Kyin San Kyawt border gate, around 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) from the northern Myanmar city of Muse.
Min Thein, vice-chair of the Muse Rice Wholesale Centre, said an estimated 800,000 bags of rice had been in limbo since the border was shut in April.
Htold media "it will take one month to export all these rice bags.”
China says it will allow more trucks to cross next week.
Elsewhere in Myanmar's Shan state, the Chinshwehaw border gate also re-opened for commerce Friday, the Chinese embassy in Yangon said.
