UNION Minister for Labour U Myint Naung received a delegation led by Mr Liu Yipeng, Deputy Governor of Dehong Prefecture People’s Government, Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China, yesterday morning at the ministry in Nay Pyi Taw.

During the meeting, discussions focused on ensuring Myanmar workers’ legal stay and employment through border entry and exit points, supervising Chinese employers, and addressing criminal matters and other challenges. The two sides explored continuing collaboration under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) system to facilitate the legal deployment of Myanmar workers in China.

The discussions also covered cooperation to protect and uphold labour rights for both legally employed and undocumented Myanmar workers in Dehong Prefecture, ensuring support for fair labour practices. Additionally, they emphasized fostering friendly and cooperative cross-border labour relations.

Myanmar and Dehong Prefecture authorities earlier signed an MoU on 12 January in Mangshi City, China, to enable the lawful deployment of Myanmar workers under the MoU system.
