NAY Pyi Taw Council Chair Mayor U Than Tun Oo delivered a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the International Tourism Alliance of Silk Road Cities in China yesterday.

He emphasized that the newly formed alliance holds significant potential for boost­ing the global economy. Be­sides tourism, Myanmar and China share numerous other areas of cooperation. He ex­tended an invitation to mem­ber countries and capitals within the group to enhance collaboration in both tour­ism and other developmental endeavours with Myanmar. Furthermore, he encouraged them to explore Myanmar’s cultural and natural treasures, including Bagan’s World Her­itage Site, Inlay Lake, Nay Pyi Taw’s Gems Emporium, and Maravijaya Buddha Image. As member cities, he stressed the importance of environmental protection alongside tourism promotion. He also under­scored the need to preserve and safeguard their respective traditional cultural heritages to foster a sustainable tourism industry that will benefit future generations.

The alliance was formed with 58 member cities, includ­ing 36 capital cities from 25 countries in Europe, Africa and America, 22 cities from China and Nay Pyi Taw.
