  • Japan Culture House invites visitors to enjoy Ajisai

The Japan Foundation has invited the public to the Japan Culture House to enjoy the beauty of Ajisai, a popular flower in Japan and create their flower.
The Japan Culture House hosts monthly activities about Japanese culture, and in this exhibition, an introduction to Ajisai is included.
Ajisai, also known as the flower of the sixth month, changes colour depending on the pH level of the soil, and it blossoms plentifully in June; therefore 6th, 16th and 26th of June are defined as Ajisai no Hi.
Now, the Japan Culture House is being decorated with Ajisai throughout June, aiming to feel the cool weather of nature throughout June as well as a part of sharing Japanese culture.
Visitors are welcome to take a photo with Ajisai and create flowers by themselves at the Japan Foundation located on Natmauk Lane 1 in Bahan Township, on every Tuesday and Saturday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. — MT/ZS

Myanmar firmly upholds One-China policy
One-China policy strengthens bilateral relations between Myanmar and China, contributing to regional peace and stability.Senior General Min Aung Hlaing expressed gratitude to China for its stance of support regarding Myanmar’s issues on the international landscape.A ceremony to mark the 75th Anniversary (Golden Jubilee) of the Establishment of Myanmar-China diplomatic relations took place at Mingala Thiri Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning, attended by Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.At the ceremony, the Senior General said an opening address. He said: In the history of modern bilateral relations, Myanmar was one of the first countries to recognize the People’s Republic of China when it was founded in 1949. Subsequently, the two countries established diplomatic relations on 8 June 1950, marking the beginning of what is now considered a diamond jubilee era.Since the establishment of Myanmar-China diplomatic relations in 1950, successive visits and exchanges of goodwill delegations between the leaders of both countries have steadily strengthened and deepened the relationship over time.Based on the historical ties between Myanmar and China, the successful signing of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in 1954 has become a model in the history of modern international relations. Since the Bandung Conference in 1955 up to the present day, it is encouraging and commendable to see that many developing countries worldwide have practised these Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.Read more: https://www.gnlm.com.mm/myanmar-firmly-upholds-one-china-policy/#article-title
