The first gas-fired power plant project in China has a significant benchmark and demonstration effect for our three parties to continue to deepen the Myanmar power market. The gas turbine is the core equipment of the entire power station, and the successful signing of its procurement contract is an important node of the Kyaukphyu project and a milestone.

Starting from this signing, we will work together to build the Kyaukphyu project into a shining pearl along the Belt and Road.

We hope that the road of trilateral cooperation will go further and wider. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
