NewsThe Myanmar government and Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF) have donated 300 tonnes of rice to Sri Lanka's flood victims in a ceremony held on February 24 at Pinlekoethwe rice mill in Dagon Seikkan Indistrial Zone, the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported. Sri Lanka buys rice and other agricultural products from Myanmar, and so, they are our trading clients. Dr Than Myint said that Sri Lanka and Myanmar were engaged in economic, social and cultural exchanges during the old days. We will make sure the contributions go directly and effectively to the flood victims. Earlier, Myanmar and Sri Lanka had a series of discussions for rice exports under the government-to-government system.
