They strive to tell the world the exciting story of China, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries seeking common development with their cameras and pens.

Yangon Media Group reporter, Thu Thu Htet Lwin, said, “This is my first time coming to Yunnan and my first time taking part in the CSAE. Here, I saw Myanmar’s gold embroidery, mangos and rice. I think it provides a platform for promoting and showcasing specialty products from around the world.” 

TVK reporter Khun Phirum told reporters, “I think it was very well prepared. The rich variety and excel-lent quality of commodities show-cased by exhibitors from various countries is the biggest attraction for me. The display of Cambodia’s commodities at the exhibition can build greater awareness of Cambo-dia’s specialty products in countries around the world, and effectively boost the image of the country.”
