China and Myanmar Sign Dozens of Infrastructure Deals

VOA News

   Chinese President Xi Jinping reinforced his support for embattled
   Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi Saturday, signing 33 bilateral
   agreements covering a range of projects, including rail and port
   ventures to allow China access to the Indian Ocean and to shorten the
   route for its oil and gas imports from the Persian Gulf.

   The agreements were signed in the Myanmar capital of Naypyitaw at the
   end of Xi's two-day visit, the first to the country by a Chinese head
   of state in nearly two decades.

   Xi's visit came as the Myanmar government faces intense global
   criticism for a 2017 military campaign that targeted minority Rohingya
   Muslims, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the exile of nearly
   750,000 others.
