He added that such activities foster an appreciation for culture and help build confidence among young learners.

Cho Cho Myint, principal of Bowen Chinese School, said more children participated this year compared to previous years, and that they showed greater development, experience and confidence on stage.

"This event is not only for children of Chinese descent in Myanmar, but also for Myanmar children learning the Chinese language," she said. "I can see that children are becoming more confident and capable each year."

"We will continue organizing this program in the future, as it strengthens China-Myanmar friendship and cultural exchange," she added.
