On September 14, 2012, the Chinese Government and the Government of Myanmar signed letters of exchange regarding the 27th Southeast Asia Games (SEA) Games Technical Cooperation Project.
China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) reportedly committed RMB 212 million (approximately $34 million) of grant funding for the project.
The purpose of the project was to dispatch 700 Chinese experts — including coaches, game managers, stage designers, and technicians — to help Myanmar’s Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Sports organize the 27th SEA Games in the city of Nay Pyi Taw. Another objective was help athletes from Myanmar improve their performance in the 27th SEA Games.
The Chinese coaching staff will work in Myanmar for 12 months, and the full cost will be borne by the Chinese government.
