Chinese search and rescue teams wrapped up their humanitarian mission in earthquake-hit Myanmar this week, receiving heartfelt gratitude from local officials before departing. The teams—including members from the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region—worked tirelessly to aid recovery efforts in disaster-stricken areas.
Collaboration in Crisis
At a ceremony in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar’s Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Ministry praised the teams’ efforts. Soe Win, Vice Chairman of the State Administration Council, handed over an official letter of thanks, calling the collaboration a \"testament to friendship.\"
Gratitude and Goodbyes
Four Chinese Air Force planes carried the rescuers home after days of intense work. Myanmar’s Deputy Foreign Minister U Lwin Oo and Cao Jing, the Chinese Embassy’s chargé d’affaires, bid the teams farewell at the airport. \"Their swift action saved lives,\" said one local observer.
