A Chinese martial arts or Wushu training program was launched in Yangon, capital of Myanmar, on Monday in efforts to deepen cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and Myanmar.

China Cultural Center in Yangon and FSSL (Myanmar) Services Limited jointly organized the three-month summer program to deepen cultural exchanges between the two countries and broaden the cultural knowledge of Myanmar students.

A total of 33 students aged 10-50 will attend the courses from March 7 to May 30 at the China Cultural Center.
