( 2 ) Enhancing friendship and cooperation between Myanmar and Thailand in
interest of both nations and peoples

Myanmar with abundant natural resources, Thailand with technology, capital,
economically complementary to each other

Yangon, 30 Nov - Myanmar-Thai and Thailand-Myanmar Cultural and Economic
Cooperation Associations held the First Joint Meeting at International
Business Centre here this afternoon. Patron of Myanmar-Thai Cultural and
Economic Cooperation Association Secretary-1 of the State Peace and
Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt delivered the opening address at the
meeting.

The Secretary-1 said: It is great privilege for me to have this opportunity
to address the First Joint Meeting of the Myanmar-Thai and Thailand-Myanmar
Cultural and Economic Cooperation Associations. At the outset, allow me to
say how delighted I am not only to meet once again with many of old and close
friends from Thailand but also to make new acquaintances. Myanmar and
Thailand are not just neighbours sharing a common border of more than 1300
miles. We are also brother countries that have similar religion, culture and
traditions.

Therefore, enhancing friendship and cooperation between Myanmar and Thailand
is in the interest of both our nations and our peoples. On the part of
Myanmar, we would like to see the all-round consolidation of the traditional
good ties between Myanmar and Thailand. In this regard, we are happy to note
the recent strengthening of relations between the two nations. The frequent
exchange of visits at all levels as well as the personal amity and rapport
between the leaders of the two nations provide a great momentum for our
relations.

 In the course of the years, Myanmar is honoured to welcome His Excellency
Prime Minister Dr Thaksin Shinawatra, His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister
General Chavalit Yonchaiyudh and Foreign Minister Dr Surakiat Sathirathai to
our country. On Myanmar's part, our Foreign Minister U Win Aung and I myself
had the opportunity to visit Thailand. These visits had served to consolidate
our relations and usher in a new era in bilateral ties.

 This has been translated into closer bonds between the two nations in many
sectors, including the two Armed Forces. We also greatly appreciate the
support given by Thailand in regional and international fora. It is our
belief that the prevailing sentiments of goodwill between the two nations
should be further cemented by stronger economic and commercial ties. Although
our trade and investment relations are growing, a lot of potential remains
intact.

Myanmar with its abundant natural resources and Thailand with its technology
and capital are economically complementary to one another. We should each try
to combine the strong points of our respective economies to our mutual
benefit. Even as the two governments, two Armed Forces and business
communities draw closer to each other, it is equally important that we should
also try to promote people to people contacts.

Although our two nations share common cultural values, there is still a large
scope for increasing understanding between the two peoples. It is in this
spirit of widening people to people relations, of expanding cultural and
economic cooperation and of complementing the efforts of the two governments
to deepen bilateral ties that the decision was reached to establish cultural
and economic cooperation associations in our two countries.

 I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to
His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh for
initiating the process. On our part, I was able to inform General Chavalit
Yongchai-yudh of the formation of Myanmar-Thai Cultural and Economic
Cooperation Association during my visit to Thailand last September. I am
happy to note that since that time, the two associations have been in contact
with each other and that preliminary discussions for promoting bilateral ties
have already started.

I am fully confident that in view of the existing friendship and cooperation
between the two Associations, their endeavours will surely be crowned with
success.

 In conclusion, allow me to extend my sincere best wishes:

- For the further consolidation of friendship and cooperation between Myanmar
and Thailand;

- For the continued success of the Myanmar-Thai and Thailand

-Myanmar Cultural and Economic Cooperation Associations;

 - For the health and well-being of General Pat Akkarnibut, President of the
Thailand-Myanmar Cultural and Economic Association; and - For the health and
well-being of all participants present here today.

 Also present at the meeting were ministers, deputy ministers, President of
Myanmar-Thai Cultural and Economic Cooperation Association Lt-Gen Kyaw Than
(Retired) and executives, President of Thailand-Myanmar Cultural and Economic
Cooperation Association Gen Pat Akkarnibut and party, officials of the State
Peace and Development Council Office and guests. The Secretary-1 and party
