Myanmar's State Administration Council (SAC) Chairman Min Aung Hlaing visited the camp of Chinese rescue teams in Mandalay on Sunday to express his gratitude for their full-force disaster response in the Southeast Asian country following a 7.9-magnitude earthquake. The arrival of Chinese rescue teams, including the China Search and Rescue Team, the China International Search and Rescue Team, and a rescue team from China's Hong Kong, to provide support from afar exemplified the profound "Paukphaw" (fraternal) friendship between the two countries, Min Aung Hlaing said. Chinese rescue teams possess extensive experience in cross-border search and rescue operations, and Myanmar looks forward to strengthening communication with China to expand cooperation in emergency response, disaster prevention, and mitigation efforts, he added. Chinese Consul General in Mandalay Gao Ping and Mandalay Region Chief Minister U Myo Aung attended the meeting. As of April 6, Chinese rescue teams had successfully rescued nine survivors in Myanmar. The powerful quake rocked the Sagaing Region of Myanmar on March 28, with an epicenter close to Mandalay, the country's second-largest city. The death toll from the devastating earthquake reached 3,564 as of Sunday evening, the Information Team of Myanmar's State Administration Council showed.
